Set in 1899, the play is inspired by the famous \u201cOverland Launch\u201d of the Lynmouth Life Boat, which was dragged in a terrible storm by its crew for 14 miles over Exmoor to launch at the more sheltered Porlock Weir. This award-winning play has a variety of lively and sombre songs, from haunting sea chanties to Exmoor folk songs&#8211;mixed in with original tunes, that punctuate the comic and tragic moments of this inspiring story. Twin brothers, Alfie and William Teale, have grown up wanting nothing more than to become lifeboat men. As they near their 16th birthdays, William gets his dream; for, you see, Alfie, because he had suffered some brain damage at birth, is judged too \u2018simple\u2019 by the Life Boat Captain<em>. Storm Boy<\/em> is the moving tale of Alfie\u2019s struggle to be treated with fairness and equality in a harsh Victorian world. Then in a moment of crisis at sea, with William on a ship floundering and about to sink, all the lifeboat men \u2013 including a newly conscripted Alfie \u2013 risk life and limb in a fourteen mile trek across Exmoor in order to rescue the men of William\u2019s stricken ship in The Bristol Channel, off the West coast of England. The final moments of this play will tear your heart out as the brothers make a decision that endangers them both.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>20 M 12F + villagers (Some doubling possible)<\/li>\n<li>Simple 1890s costumes<\/li>\n<li>Unit Set (design package available)<\/li>\n<li><strong>ORDER #3213<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Available for licensing immediately.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>PERUSAL<strong> MATERIALS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PERUSAL SCRIPT:<\/strong> The PDF of 1\/2 of the script is available:<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/StormBoyPERUSAL.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"77\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A great way to peruse this script is to purchase the PRINT BOOK version <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/?p=8290\">HERE<\/a><\/strong> for <strong>$12.95 <\/strong>(See below for purchase of PRODUCTION COPIES of the PRINT VERSION of STORM BOY)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>LIST OF SONGS:<\/strong>\u00a0 mp3 demo of the songs <strong>(SOON) The videos below show the beginnings of each act of the play. <\/strong>Some of the songs that appeared in the videos of the original show were a &#8216;one-time use&#8217; rights grant and are being replaced with an original score by the show&#8217;s music director\/arranger\/composer, Tim Laycock.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ACT ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>#1 \u2013 <strong>We Will Survive<\/strong> (Laycock)<\/li>\n<li>#2 \u2013<strong> Bring Out The Lifeboat<\/strong> (Traditional.
