In a production commissioned by the Finborough Theatre, the UK premiere of David French’s classic Salt-Water Moon opens at the Finborough Theatre for a four week limited season on 3 January 2023.

It’s a splendid moon-filled night in Coley’s Point in 1926.

Young Jacob Mercer has returned home to the tiny and remote Newfoundland fishing village, desperate to win back his former sweetheart, Mary Snow.

But Mary has become engaged to wealthy Jerome McKenzie, and is still hurt and bewildered by Jacob’s abrupt departure for Toronto a year earlier.

Even to speak to Jacob will put Mary’s wedding plans in jeopardy. Stubborn and independent, she is determined never to forgive Jacob…

A heartbreakingly romantic exploration of young love, set against the shores at the edge of the British Empire.

Directed by Peter Kavanagh, the cast includes Bryony Miller (Everything, Arcola Theatre) as Mary and Joseph Potter (The Poltergeist, Arcola Theatre) as Jacob.
