Description
'It's always bad luck for a woman to be on board... no offence.'
Corrina, following in her seafaring father's footsteps, boards a cargo ship set for Singapore. Not everyone is pleased to have her aboard - and not everyone will make it to their final destination.
Set in the claustrophobic cabins and corridors of a container ship at sea, Chloe Moss's play Corrina, Corrina is a story of power dynamics, superstitions and revenge, exploring what happens when we think no one is watching.
This gripping thriller premiered at Liverpool Everyman in 2022, as a co-production between Headlong and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, directed by Holly Race Roughan.
