Affecting story of adolescence and the search for privacy in the wide open countryside
— The Guardian
 
 
…has a bit of magic about it, its delicately sketched story runs true. Viking ghosts, well-known residents of the Suffolk coast feature, as does forest folklore… perfectly pitched.

Stevie’s Grandma prays for her salvation, Stevie’s mum preaches free love, Stevie doesn’t know where to start!

She’s sent to Suffolk – the home of doggers, folklore and Stan. The course of teenage love never did run smooth. When Stevie bumps into Stan again, she has a chance to make things right.

Gig-theatre with beautiful live folk music from award-winning band TRILLS, Songlines is a witty and moving coming-of-age love story in all its awkward teen glory.

A playlist of the music is available here.
