A musical telling the story of local RNLI hero Henry Freeman is being staged in Bridlington Lifeboat station on Sunday evening.
"Facing the Waves" has been created by Whitby-based Dogwood Productions.
Director Antony Bellekom says tonight's performance will be a special experience:
Antony says the team behind the production hope it will find an existence after the conclusion of their Yorkshire Coast tour:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
