About The Whitby Rebels - The Playhouse

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grosmont.

This motley crew was assembled for a daring mission: to erect a plaque honouring the legendary Whitby whaler and explorer Captain William Scoresby Senior on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland. The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the plan... unhinged.

A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination, Bea Roberts's play The Whitby Rebels is a ripping yarn that will surely thrill the audiences.

An amateur production from Nick Hern Books
