Conqueror – A sea shanty musical by JOHN SANDERS
Oct 13 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Harwich in the early 1800s was the centre of shipbuilding for the Royal Navy. Its highest achievement was the building of the Man of War, ‘Conqueror’ which fought with distinction at the Battle of Trafalgar. The Stane Street Players tell the story of the ship, it’s crew and the townspeople of Harwich in an amusing, big cast production laced with sea songs and shanties.

Stane Players Harwich
