This family drama, with an unsettling supernatural element, is rooted in the experiences of working class communities in the West Midlands. Two sides of one family struggle against the crushing pressure to escape the often brutal reality of their lives. Steven is a young graduate destined for great things. Tormented by his gift for prophecy and haunted by his dreams, he fights to break the cycle of lies, crime and violence that has ensnared his family, but finds himself in an impossible position. When one seismic event throws the family’s world into chaos, big decisions need to be made.
Based on an original idea by Corey Campbell, one of the Belgrade Theatre’s Co-Artistic Directors for 2021 and Artistic Director of Strictly Arts Theatre Company, SeaView is a six-part digital TV series, the first three episodes of which will be screened at the Belgrade this autumn as part of its Coventry UK City of Culture programme.
