Cornwall Youth Theatre Company presents a bold retelling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s
“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”.

Lauded as one of the greatest poetic ballads and a touchstone for the Romantic movement. When Samuel Taylor Coleridge rediscovers the voice of the Ancient Mariner, his epic poem becomes a mirror revealing the storm of guilt, love, and redemption within the poet himself.
When the Mariner, in a moment of reckless impulse, shoots the Albatross, nature itself turns against him.
The wind dies. The sea burns.
His shipmates perish under a curse that leaves him the lone survivor, adrift among the dead.
Haunted by spirits, tormented by isolation, the Mariner is forced to confront the cosmic weight of his crime.
Their story. Their burden. Their tale must be told. Visually striking, dramatic and full of pathos.
This is the 3rd time the company has tackled this iconic piece, with two other play adaptations of the poem in 1995, written and directed by Dave Hunter and in 2010, written and directed by Rory Wilton.
Join us once more to hear the famous tale of the Ancient Mariner at a venue near you next March.
