Sea Cabinet
Music and Lyrics by Gwyneth Herbert
Book by Heidi James
May 2024
Sea Cabinet is a song cycle of linked songs about memory, obsession, love and the sea. A woman walks the beach alone, obsessively collecting every discarded and washed-up object she finds. She takes them home to catalogue each one with the care and rigor of a scientist. Each item sings with the memory of a secret sea-set story. Written and originally performed in England, our 2019 production was the U.S. premiere of the work. We are thrilled to return to this much-loved work!
