Jethro Compton and Darren Clark reimagine F. Scott Fitzgerald's story in a Cornish fishing village, following Benjamin Button as his life runs in reverse and his relationship with Elowen moves against the tide of time.
An intimate folk-inflected musical combining romance, humour and melancholy as Benjamin's life moves in the opposite direction to everyone around him. The score and storytelling balance the wonder of his predicament with war, bereavement, family and the passing of time.
