Five Fishermen. £53 million of cocaine. An ongoing fight for justice.

In 2011, five fishermen on the Isle of Wight were sentenced to a total of 104 years for conspiracy to import £53m worth of cocaine. They have always professed their innocence.

This powerful new production seeks to present the case and its events on their merits and asks the fundamental question - honest fishermen or international drug smugglers?

Inspired by the wildly popular Guardian Today in Focus podcast, The Freshwater Five incorporates spectacular storytelling, verbatim accounts, inventive stagecraft, poetry and song.
