Riders to the Sea

in the Black Box Theater

Riders to the Sea by J.M. Synge is an Irish play wrought with the tragedy of the life of the sea.  The play is set during the early days of the twentieth century on the remote Irish Aran island of Inisheer. Maurya, a mother, and her two daughters, Cathleen and Nora, wait in silent dread for news of their brother Michael, who they fear has been lost at sea. With the sea claiming the lives of her four eldest sons, Maurya tries in vain to dissuade her last son, Bartley, from making the same trip and meeting the same fate.

It will be paired with local art and poetry which express the complexities of the ocean which surrounds us here on Cape Cod.    Come be a part of history then and now.

Directed by Erin Trainor.
