Eoin Ryan

A story you will never forget…

A jaw-dropping story set on the Coral Sea, Australia. An Irish backpacker blags his way onto a prawn trawler. There he discovers a rarely seen world of hard labour and harder fishermen, where drinking, fighting, storms and hungry sharks are part of everyday life.
His raw, exuberant story of adventure twists dramatically into one of survival culminating in an unforgettable moment of redemptive grace.

Trawled is a one-man biographical drama. The actor plays himself 26 years younger! This is classic storytelling that plays out like a movie. Ready to come onboard?

Trawled was shortlisted for the PopCorn BBC new writing award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024.
