This show contains loud music, strong language, partial nudity, some audience interaction, some violent imagery, and some scenes of climate anxiety.
This gig gets weird. Join us, and return to being a fish.
Humanity’s ruined the ecosystem, but humanity’s just a dodgy side branch of fish evolution. The solution’s clear – and that’s where the salmon come in.
Fin’s climate anxiety culminates in him thinking he’s a salmon, onstage, whilst his girlfriend and bandmate look on in fishy horror. This could be a climate revolution.
But being a salmon would put a certain stress on everyone’s personal lives. And actually that’s a good question to ask: can our relationships survive this overwhelming timeline we’re in at all? (Features salmon.)
With live trad music, FX pedal soundscapes, global industrial food production, colonialism, fish farming, and probably inevitable ecological destruction?

Press & Reviews
Everything Theatre ★★★★ "The way this show traverses different forms and keeps you absorbed is a masterclass of gig theatre"
Fringebiscuit ★★★★ "Informative, energetic, divinely absurd [...] the music is sublime throughout"
Lost in Theatreland "Musically the three are outstanding. Peregrin's voice is sublime and Flett seems to be able to play all the instruments ever. [...] Their harmonies are beautiful and My Lover Was a Salmon is worth watching for the music alone."
The Spy in the Stalls "Bradán theatre company is onto something significant"
