Eric's Tales of the Sea - A Submariner's Yarn

Saturday 26 May 2012
Rolvenden Village Hall, Ashford
A gifted raconteur, Eric has a story to tell, and he tells it superbly. The audience will get a unique, insider’s view of the mysterious world under the sea in a Royal Navy Nuclear Submarine. Riveting, funny and poignant; to call it only a comedy show simply doesn’t do it justice, as Eric takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of laughter and emotion, that at times will leave you mesmerised and scared to breathe in case you miss something.
