The National Theatre’s critically acclaimed adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean At The End Of The Lane is coming to Liverpool next year.
Described as a “thrilling adventure of fantasy, myth and friendship”, The Ocean At The End Of The Lane tells the story of a man who returns to his childhood home and finds himself standing beside the pond where he used to play. He's then transported back to his 12th birthday where his friend claimed it was an ocean, not a pond – “a place where everything is possible”.
The pair are then plunged into a magical world where their survival depends on their ability to reckon with ancient forces that threaten to destroy everything around them. The production will take audiences on an “epic” journey to a childhood once forgotten, exploring the darkness that lurks at the edge of it.
