Description
A jaw-dropping true 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 survival culminating in an unforgettable moment of redemptive grace. Trawled is a one-man biographical drama. The actor plays himself 25 years younger! This is classic storytelling that plays out like a movie.

A Witty and Engaging Performance - A Must-See at the Fringe
I had the pleasure of attending Tweets at the Fringe, and it was an absolute delight! The show brilliantly blends humor, satire, and a touch of reality in a way that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The performers brought a unique energy to the stage, delivering sharp and witty lines that resonated with everyone in the room.

Finding shows like Trawled, is one of the main reasons I come to the Fringe. I was gripped by the story and the performance from the start. And to have it told by the person who had lived through the experience adds another dimension to the show. I am so pleased we found this show - one that I won't forget. I hope this is made into a film.

Trawled – When Adventure Becomes Survival (****)
Eion Ryan tells of his six weeks working aboard a trawler in the South Pacific when he was 25. From unlashing a boom in shark infested waters during a raging storm to having to fight the captain he makes the harrowing journey come alive for us. I have had cracked ribs, and his vivid description having to do brutal work with broken ribs had me sympathizing with his plight.
This is the 11th most enjoyable of the 99 shows I have seen so far at the Fringe this year. I hope to see more than 150 this year. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: https://fringefan.com/

Excellent! Mr. Ryan's has a gift for managing his hour of time with you to gradually build suspense. His eye for detail and his many gifts for re-enactment keep you engaged every step of the way. Every second feels real. The characters are colorful and perfectly flawed. The plot never flags. This is storytelling at its best.
Do note that the venue requires a bit of perseverance to get to. It takes a few extra steps and minutes, but it's worth it.
