Description When a wild storm shakes a quiet East Anglian seaside village, it sets off a series of events that changes the lives of all the residents. Set in 1907, just before WWI, The Sea is a fascinating mix of Bond's stark poetry, social insight, and high comedy - creating a play with Shakespearean sweep that is both riotously funny and touchingly poignant.
