Set against the dramatic wartime backdrop of the internment camp at Port Erin on the Isle of Man, this play takes place during the summer of 1940. It raises issues about a little-recorded part of British domestic history in which the characters are sustained by their hopes and dreams which we, the audience, finally realize will not be fulfilled.

Voyager is a moving, thought-provoking play in one act, with excellent roles for two men and two women.
