A coastline erodes, a house falls into the sea. A mysterious brother and sister arrive looking for answers. Marnie clings to her camera, taking photographs of strangers and places. She has come to say goodbye to a life she never knew whilst her brother Linus is keen to make a fresh start. But when they find Simon and daughter Kelly, reeling in the wake of tragedy, all four lives are to become inextricably linked under the weight of the past. Tom Morton-Smith is a playwright based in the South East of England. He studied Drama at the University of East Anglia, and trained as an actor at LAMDA. He has had readings at the Old Vic, the Hampstead Theatre, the Soho Theatre, the Royal Court, the Trafalgar Studios, the Liverpool Everyman, the Southwark Playhouse, the Arcola and Shakespeare’s Globe. In 2006 he was nominated by the Hampstead Theatre to be one of The 50, a writer’s group put together by the BBC and the Royal Court to nurture playwriting talent. He was also selected to be part of Paines Plough’s Future Perfect group, 2006. Tom was writer-in-residence with Paines Plough 2007/08. His debut play, Salt Meets Wound, opened at Theatre 503 in May 2007. 'Morton-Smith’s uncanny ear for dialogue, perfectly capturing the randomness of everyday speech as well as the way people reveal information about themselves, and a touching, unshowy denouement, demonstrate that this is a theatre company to watch and a writer in ascendance.' - The Stage 'Manchester-based company Box of Tricks know how to pick their writers; Tom Morton-Smith’s script is both poetic and philosophical, a thoughtful meditation on the impact of loss.' - What’s on Stage 'Such emotive subject matter could easily feel sensational or prurient, but Morton-Smith’s careful handling gives rise to a lyrical character study of ordinary people burdened by exceptional circumstances.' - Guardian 'Philosophical, attentive and poetic, Morton-Smith has set up a complex tale of the fragility of identity and the burden of loss.' - A Younger Theatre
