According to Broadway World, Andrew Gower will be united with his former co-star Manjinder Virk (Monroe, Out Of Darkness) in a new audio play called The Giant Pacific Octopus Maritime School. It is part of the Written On The Waves series, which was developed by the women-led production company 45North in cooperation with Ellie Keel Productions after the Covid-19 pandemic brought many creative possibilities to a halt in March 2020.
Written On The Waves is described as “a celebration of storytelling, which shares stories to spark listeners’ imaginative worlds, and enables us to connect with each other while we are apart.” The Giant Pacific Octopus Maritime School will be the “first family friendly piece (and trans-Atlantic collaboration)” and penultimate audio play of the eight part series, written by Jaclyn Backhaus and directed by 45 North CEO and Creative Director Jessica Rose McVay.
Andrew Gower will play a character named Guy, with the rest of the cast including Adjoa Andoh (Emma), Sam Crerar (Ilya), Amita Suman (Priya) and Manjinder Virk (Seema).
The Giant Pacific Octopus Maritime School will be available on the 45North website for free on Monday, 12 April 2021. If you liked the programme, please consider making a donation to this small, independent company.
