About Us
Living myth-makers of the Isle of Wight
Somewhen Productions is an arts organisation dedicated to creating world-class immersive cultural events specifically within the Isle of Wight community. We operate through our creative collective, The Somewhen Survival Society, a new reimagining of ancient ideas making work rooted in the Island's landscape. As living myth-makers, we are dedicated to revitalising rural culture and combating rural isolation through theatrical storytelling, local folklore, and innovative arts events. Our work fosters place-pride and connects residents across generations.
The Somewhen Survival Society was formally established in December 2025, and it is built upon decades of creative, cultural and community leadership on the Isle of Wight and beyond.
The company brings together four directors, Peter Higgin, Sean Turner, Clementine Seely and Samuel Wyer, with complementary expertise in theatre-making, design, producing and organisational leadership.
Together, the directors combine international experience with deep local knowledge and a shared commitment to creating ambitious, community-rooted work that celebrates the stories, landscapes and people of the Isle of Wight.
The ‘Can You Hear Us?’ festival has brought us together to create this new theatre company through which we will deliver world-class, site-specific storytelling and events that celebrates local culture, folklore and landscape, ensuring that rural communities young and old remain at the heart of the Island's cultural narrative.
