Trawled – When Adventure Becomes Survival

What begins as a thrilling adventure soon spirals into a harrowing tale of survival against all odds. Trawled is a one-man biographical drama set on a prawn trawler. Twenty-five years after his life-changing experience, Eoin Ryan brings the wild waves of the Coral Sea, Australia to life in Smock Alley theatre on November 29th & 30th at 8pm.

Set against the meticulously crafted backdrop of a realistic stage, Trawled is a sixty-minute tour de force of storytelling that unfolds with the cinematic intensity of a blockbuster film.

Due to the content and subject matter of the play it comes with an over 16’s recommendation. The audience will be taken into a rarely seen world of hard labour and even harder fishermen. Drinking, fighting, storms and hungry sharks are part of everyday life. What begins as an adventure, degenerates quickly into a gripping story to stay alive.

Written, produced, and acted by Eoin Ryan, Trawled was first published as a book in 2019. In 2022 Eoin performed the story as a TEDx talk. Eoin’s motivation for going on stage and touring is to share the important universal message ‘to ask for help’.  ‘Having never done anything in theatre before 2023, I still felt compelled to bring this play and message to life’.

Trawled was shortlisted for the prestigious PopCorn award at Edinburgh fringe festival. And most recently the book has been shortlisted for the CAP award in nonfiction.

Trawled is making waves. Are you ready to come onboard?
