The Big Ship Sails is an emotional play about the the British child migration scheme of the 1940s and 1950s. Based upon actual recollections, the play focuses on the lives of children from different families and explores the reasons for, and effects of, this devastating exportation programme. Powerful as a performance, and an excellent resource for investigating events of recent British - and Commonwealth - history from the perspective of those involved.
