"An extraordinary piece of documentary theatre."

-British Theatre Guide

An incredible solo show from “One of Scotland’s most interesting performers and theatre makers” (Daily Record)

Her Majesty's Naval Base Clyde, or Faslane, situated 40 miles outside Glasgow, is home to the UK's nuclear missile program: Trident. With family having worked in Faslane all her life, and with friends protesting at the gates, Jenna Watt (How You Gonna Live Your Dash, Flâneurs) explores what happens when the personal and political collide.

Drawing upon interviews with individuals at the front line of the nuclear debate and featuring an immersive sound design by Kim Moore (Blow Off, Tiger Tale) Jenna navigates her own journey through the politics, protests and peace camps.

WINNER - Fringe First and Summerhall Lustrum awards, 2016.
