Revised streaming dates have been announced for the unique theatrical performance of Into The Night, now available from 12 January-20 February.
On Saturday 19 December 1981, the Penlee lifeboat ‘Solomon Browne’, was launched in hurricane conditions to go to the aid of the coaster ‘Union Star’ that had engine failure and was being swept towards the southern coast of Cornwall. It was an attempted rescue which ranks not only with the greatest in the history of the RNLI, but with any human achievement.
Into The Night has been adapted by playwright and screen writer Frazer Flintham from Penlee RNLI volunteer and author Michael Sagar-Fenton’s book Penlee: The Loss of a Lifeboat, and is directed by Original Theatre Company’s Alastair Whatley.
The cast includes Hubert Burton, Tom Chambers, Cornish actor Robert Duncan, James Findlay, Madeleine Knight, Robert Mountford, Cornish actresses Susan Penhaligon and Hazel Simmons, and Tim Treloar.
The production is presented by Original Theatre Company, with design by Michael Pavelka, sound by Dominic Bilkey and music by James Findlay.
Alastair Whatley said: “The story of the Penlee Lifeboat is one of the most humbling, awe inspiring stories of ordinary people being thrust into unimaginable conditions and risking everything to save others. We thank our audiences for their support and patience and can't wait to finally be able to share the hard work of our team in telling this important story that touches all who hear it.”
Into The Night offers an unforgettable performance remembering the courage, dedication and heroism of the Penlee lifeboat crew.
