Theatre of Fish

Theatre of Fish documents John Gimlette’™s travels along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, in a journey that broadly mirrors that of his great-grandfather, Dr Eliot Curwen, who spent a summer there as a doctor in 1893.Gimlette’™s ancestor was witness to both some of the most beautiful landscapes and some of the cruellest poverty in the British Empire. Using Curwen’™s frank journal, Gimlette revisits the places it describes and explores his own links with the brutal icy land.
