What happens when a family's livelihood is threatened by the very thing that's supposed to keep their community clean? Michele Sheldon's new play, Sewage: Definitely not a Musical, explores this question through a unique blend of fairytale and comedy, set in a Kent seaside town.
The story weaves together narratives from the 19th century to modern day, highlighting the impact of sewage dumps on the local economy and environment. With a cast of powerful villains and a few silly songs, the play tackles a serious issue with a touch of humour, although audiences are warned to expect some mild swearing.
Michele Sheldon is the creative force behind this play, bringing her distinctive voice to the topic of sewage and its effects on a community. On Saturday, 21 November 2026, Sewage: Definitely not a Musical will be performed at The Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable, offering a thought-provoking and entertaining take on a pressing environmental issue.
