We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea

More about the book

A wonderful adaptation for the stage of Ransome's novel about a boating trip that goes awry. Ideal for production by schools, colleges and youth clubs. "There is a nice sense of period about these kids coping on their own under extraordinary, but quite believable, circumstances—lisle pullovers and plimsolls at the ready—but the human anguish between them is universal and timeless, although there are lots of laughs on the way, too. Highly recommended." —The Stage
