We Are Not Shellfish - Sabotage Theatre

A play with puppets and masks
by Zoe Hinks


​On the East coast of Kent, 11 year old Leah finds a message in a bottle. Inside is a phone number from a child living in the forest near Calais, and soon she finds herself in conversation with Ahmed, a boy adrift the sea of humanity in the Calais Jungle.  However, when his messages stop, Leah hatches a plan to build a boat and sail the channel. She must summon all her courage to build her boat from salvaged plastic and, accompanied by her pet goldfish, talking rucksack and therapeutic octopus, embark on an epic voyage to find her friend.


Narrated by Leah’s goldfish, Bertie and Cassandra, We Are Not Shellfish is an alternative coming of age story, about a girl with the imagination, courage and ambition to change the world.

Sabotage Theatre is a grass roots theatre company with a passion for adventure. They have performed in unique locations spanning from ancient forests and churches to a Victorian Asylum.  They have toured with horses, camped, walked from venue to venue, piled props in prams and on trains and lit plays with burning torches fuelled by recycled chip oil. Sabotage Theatre is vibrant, unique, and uncompromisingly live.
