🌊 We, the Ocean
The Ocean and Jules Verne are having a picnic, of sorts. You’re invited. Here, your teaspoons become schools of fish and your teacups become icebergs. The Ocean can’t speak. Verne won’t stop. You want to know: how do we save the world?

We, the Ocean is an adaptation of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas which I made with Georgie Wolfe, Amanda Dhammanarachchi, Sarah Matthews, and Meg Heathcote. Development was supported by Monash Uni Student Theatre with mentoring from Daniel Lammin.
