From the Hull Daily Mail

HULL Truck Theatre's creative writer, Kate Bramley, is taking her innovative company Bad Apple on the road. Her latest production, entitled Fighting The Tide, is a musical featuring original folk songs by the acclaimed singer and songwriter Jez Lowe.
The production revolves around two young trawlermen who set off to sea in the hope of having an arctic adventure.

The story follows the characters on their rocky journey, tracing their way through the industrial history of the trawling business.
Said Kate: "Jez is an astonishingly good writer and has worked some magic on the songs for this show. "We're attempting something new here and we're excited about it."
