The play is based on the restoration of the oyster dredger 'Priscilla' within the Pioneer Sailing Trust 'Land and Sea' project. It's 2014 and fifty-year-old Mo is restoring the oyster dredger recovered from the mud of the river. He's hardly old school - he likes Amy Winehouse too much - but his heart lies in 30 feet of rotting decking. He leads trainees in replacing those timbers to bring the boat back to life until Kasey, a young intern, challenges Mo's concept of restoration. Can it really be called restoration when so little of the waterlogged wood remains?

Oysters is a tale of sex, bivalve molluscs and marine engineering versus macro economics and the smallest virus known to man.
