    About this ebook

    Girt by Sea is an amalgam of several street theatre performances reworked as a play for voices (or for radio broadcast).
    There is nothing especially ambitious about the play as it merely tries to touch on a few notions about the mandatory detention of refugees and package them in a short, sharp piece that quickly gets down to satirical business.
