HIGH Tide and DugOut Theatre present Songlines, a new play from Suffolk writer Tallulah Brown, at the York Theatre Royal Studio on September 8.

Directed by George Chilcott, this coming-of-age love story in all its awkward teen glory is a piece of "gig theatre" with beautiful folk music performed live by the award-winning band Trills.

In Songlines, Stevie is 17 and peak cool or so she thinks. In the middle of the wide-eyed stagger from girlhood to womanhood, she is sent to live in the middle of nowhere with her grandma. Welcome to Suffolk, the home of doggers, folklore, sea cabbages...and Stan. Stan is peak geek, not that he knows. However, there are secrets in the marshland, songs that will show Stevie the way.

Tickets for next Saturday's 7.45pm performance are on sale on 01904 623568 or at yorktheatreroyal.co.uk
