In 1845, sailor Arthur survives a shipwreck in the Arctic with help from Milak, an Inuit girl, and follows her back to her village, where disease has killed everyone but her father. A British explorer takes Milak to Wales, where she is displayed at a fair, abused, and eventually sentenced to hang. Arthur later calls on Milak’s spirit to protect the Inuit from the British ship, and dies at the helm as a storm ends.
A one-act chamber opera setting Dylan Thomas’s play for voices directly, featuring characters including Captain Cat, Organ Morgan, Polly Garter and Reverend Eli Jenkins.
