Who do we think we are?


At this point it’s necessary to define roles, and create a full scenario. Here goes.



The year is 3013. Fossil fuels have run out. Rising tides have changed the coastline. Polluted waters surround our resort. Manchester On Sea is a holiday town bustling with pleasure seekers, and those eager to help them part with their cash.

A motley troupe of musicians and performers parade. Their routine is in the style of the traditional seaside concert party, or Pierrot troupe from another era. They promenade whilst performing holiday songs, and dancing. Some may say they have questionable talent, but they are very enthusiastic.


Amidst the performers is their star attraction. It is a beast captured from the polluted waters by a team of marine biologists, who maintain it, and keep it safe. These out of work government scientists are unable to make a living from the now dead waters of the world’s oceans. They have joined forces with this unlikely rabble, to make a few quid from this highly evolved and potentially dangerous creature, who happens to perform quite well, though it’s probably radioactive.


Holiday makers follow. Sea bathing is a dangerous business, and the sun can burn your skin in minutes now that there is no ozone layer. No wonder their swimsuits are from another century.
