Playreadings 2025 at The Vic Devonport - SHELTER by Elspeth Sandys

The Victoria Theatre Trust presents a Play Reading for SHELTER by Elspeth Sandys.

A mother and son, out on a weekend tramp in the bush, are forced to take shelter during a storm. But the hut sheltering them is not a normal tramping hut. As the play unfolds, and hidden family truths are revealed, the tension generated by their strange surroundings fuses with the tension in their relationship to bring the action to a shocking climax.

During her twenty-five years living in the UK she wrote numerous plays for BBC Radio.
