Langstone Harbour. 1913. On a lonely island sits the Oyster House, looking out over murky waters and throbbing tides. When a body is found in the mud, a series of events unfold, against a backdrop of rising tensions and the prospect of war.

A brand-new mystery drama, based on the real Oyster House which stood on the shores of Farlington Marshes for over 130 years. This new in-the-round theatrical experience will tour the communities of Portsmouth and Langstone Harbours in the Spring of 2025.

​​

Creative Harbour CIC and People and Stories have partnered for an exciting new theatre experience, The Oyster House, supported by Portsmouth Creates and Arts Council England.

A People and Stories, and Creative Harbour Touring Network production
