Sea Wall will stay with you for the rest of your life.

The phenomenal Andrew Scott brings Simon Stephens' devastatingly lovely script to life with gentle fragility and painful honesty.

Scott and Stephens are a match made in heaven; the delicate tenderness and fond, nostalgic warmth of Stephens' writing is matched only by the quiet, heartwrenching beauty of Scott's performance. Together, they will break your heart and leave you numb. Life goes on, but every time you see a little girl wearing a cardigan, or a grandfather walking hand in hand with his granddaughter, Sea Wall will cross your mind, and leave in its wake an inescapable sense of grief.

Sea Wall is a truly astounding, mesmirising piece of work; to all who were involved in its creation, a resounding 'very, very well done'.
