Ellen McDougall directs her own adaptation of of Nobel Laureate José Saramago’s beautiful, inventive and rebellious story, The Tale of The Unknown Island.
You ask the king for a boat.
You want to start again.
You won’t take no for an answer.
The Unknown Island is the short story of a long journey; a tale of the epic distances between each of us; an exploration of whether it’s possible to
reimagine the world.
– And what is this unknown island you want to go in search of?
– If I could tell you that, it wouldn’t be unknown.
