- Summary:
- The voyage of the Good Hope is a journey on which the life of an entire community depends. A storm rages, the women and children wait ashore, and the boat follows the Greenland catch...
- This Dutch classic of social realist theatre has been relocated to the Yorkshire fishing community of Whitby in 1900 by Lee Hall, writer of the award-winning Billy Elliot and Spoonface Steinberg. A poetic account of the fisherman's life, The Good Hope has not been performed in the UK for more than fifty years and is rediscovered at a time when the fishing industry is once again in strife.
- Lee Hall's version of Herman Heijermans' The Good Hope premiered at the Cottesloe Theatre, Royal National Theatre, London, in November 2001.
