Mettle

Written and performed by Nicholas Collett and directed by Gavin Robertson.

Award-winning solo performer Nicholas Collett returns to Jersey Opera House (previous: Spitfire Solo, Oysters, Your Bard) tells the story of his father’s service during the Atlantic Convoys of World War Two. A true odyssey, that takes us from Sheffield to Liverpool to Nova Scotia, Boston to West Africa and home again, amidst the constant threat of U-Boat attack and treacherous weather. Physical theatre and storytelling, with a dramatic soundscape and 40’s music, this is a tribute to those who served, those who were lost – and those who lived to tell their story.
