The Sea (play)
''The Sea'' is a 1973 play by Edward Bond. It is a comedy set in a small seaside village in rural East Anglia during the Edwardian period and draws from some of the themes of Shakespeare's ''The Tempest''. It was well-received by critics. Plot summary Set in 1907, the play begins with a tempestuous storm in which a well-known and loved member of the community drowns. It then explores the reactions of the villagers and the attempts by two young lovers to break away from the constraints of the hierarchical, and sometimes irrational, society. At the same time, the town's draper struggles with abuse and bullying from the town's "First Lady", Mrs. Rafi. Believing that aliens from another planet have arrived to invade the city, he had refused to help the drowning man's friend's attempts to save him and eventually goes stark raving mad. Original production The play was originally produced at the Royal Court Theatre on 22 May 1973, directed by William Gaskill. *Willy Carson - ...

1840 Grand National
The 1840 Grand Liverpool Steeplechase was the second official annual running of a steeplechase, later to become known as the Grand National Steeplechase handicap horse race, which took place at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool on Thursday 5 March 1840 and attracted a then smallest ever field of 13 runners. Although recorded by the press at the time as the fifth running of the Grand Liverpool, which was renamed the Grand National in 1847, the first three runnings were poorly organised affairs. The race was not run as a handicap chase and therefore all the runners were declared to carry 12 stone.

Sea (astronomy)
The Sea or the Water is an area of the sky in which many water-related, and few land-related, constellations occur. This may be because the Sun passed through this part of the sky during the rainy season. Most of these constellations are named by Ptolemy: * Aquarius the Water-bearer * Capricornus the Sea-goat * Cetus the Whale * Delphinus the Dolphin * Eridanus the Great River * Hydra the Water serpent * Pisces the Fishes * Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish (not named by Ptolemy) Sometimes included are the ship Argo and Crater the Water Cup. Some water-themed constellations are newer, so are ''not'' in this region. They include Hydrus, the lesser water snake; Volans, the flying fish; and Dorado Dorado (, ) is a constellation in the Southern Sky. It was named in the late 16th century and is now one of the 88 modern constellations.

A Sea Symphony
''A Sea Symphony'' is an hour-long work for soprano, baritone, chorus and large orchestra written by Ralph Vaughan Williams between 1903 and 1909. The first and longest of his nine symphonies, it was first performed at the Leeds Festival in 1910 with the composer conducting, and its maturity belies the relatively young age – 30 – when he began sketching it. Moreover, it is one of the first symphonies in which a chorus is used throughout as an integral part of the texture and it helped set the stage for a new era of symphonic and choral music in Britain during the first half of the 20th century. It was never numbered. History From 1903 to 1909, Ralph Vaughan Williams worked intermittently on a series of songs for chorus and orchestra that were to become his most lengthy project to date and his first true symphony. Originally titled ''The Ocean'', ''A Sea Symphony'' was first performed in 1910 at the Leeds Festival on the composer's 38th birthday. This is generally cited ...
