Richard Bean's latest play, Reykjavik, powerfully captures the aftermath of a fishing tragedy, blending humor and tension to explore survival, loss, and corporate detachment.
The play reflects on the raw emotions of survivors, emphasizing that the death of fishermen at sea is not noble, but rather a painful reality for their families.
Set against the backdrop of Hull and Reykjavik, the narrative shifts from corporate indifference to the personal guilt of a shipowner facing the consequences of his decisions.
As Claxton faces the crew, Bean highlights the stark contrast between business and humanity, forcing audiences to confront the moral implications of profit over lives.
