Rachael Bellis plays Gertrude in "The Sea Horse" at the Golden Goose Theatre from 4th-15th November.

It's a tender, brutally honest love story of two hardened outsiders: Gertrude, a tough, guarded bar owner, & Harry, a weathered seaman with a new dream. www.goldengoosetheatre.co.uk/whatson/thes...

The Sea Horse | Golden Goose Theatre

A brutally honest love story unfolds in a dark waterfront bar between a guarded owner and a hopeful seaman. This raw, funny, and compelling play reveals that even the toughest can find connection.

To everyone coming along to AWL tonight (Monday 20th October), the card-reader behind the bar is not working, so best to come armed with cash!
