The Whitby Rebels
Ifield Barn Theatre, Crawley, RH11 0NN
Wednesday 27th January 2027
In 1991, a humble pleasure boat set sail from Whitby for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grosmont.
Their mission: to erect a plaque on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland to honour the legendary Whitby whaler and explorer Captain William Scoresby Senior.
The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the plan… unhinged.
A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination, "The Whitby Rebels" premiered at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 2024.
