About the Audiobook
The Price of a Fish Supper – A Poignant Reflection on Loss and Hope
Rab has spent his life in the fishing industry, but as the trade declines, so too do his fortunes. The harbour that once promised stability and purpose now feels like a relic of another time. Facing hardship and uncertainty, he clings to a flicker of hope, searching for meaning in a world that has moved on without him.
In this powerful short play, Catherine Czerkawska delivers a deeply human story that explores resilience, nostalgia, and the struggle to adapt when the foundations of a working life begin to crumble.
Production History: The Price of a Fish Supper was first staged at Oran Mor’s acclaimed A Play, A Pie and A Pint season, where it received glowing reviews. The play was later broadcast on BBC Radio 4, further cementing its reputation before this new audio production.
A moving exploration of change, survival, and quiet determination.
