Suzanne Marie Taylor, Still Life “Movy”

Motor Launch [ML]286 was a spirited WW1 submarine chaser which served as part of the Auxiliary Motor Launch Patrol. Nicknamed “Movy”- as motor launches were called due to their animated movement in the water, ML286’s shipwrecked archaeology suggests a new type of present-day “movement” in which the motor launch’s remains actively reveal hidden stories. Hear those buried secrets unearthed in Dr Suzanne Marie Taylor’s one-woman archaeodrama, Still Life “Movy” in which she carefully excavates the motor launch’s compelling narrative through poetry, song and the personal accounts of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve officers who served in the Motor Launch Patrol.
Suitable for ages 16+ Themes of death and suicide.
