Words Words Words Play Reading Series: “The Sea” by Edward Bond

Our third offering in this season’s play reading series is Edward Bond’s lyrical tragicomedy The Sea. First produced in 1973, the play is set in 1907 in a small English seaside village. A well-known and loved member of the community dies at sea during a violent storm. The play explores the reactions of the villagers to the loss and the attempts by two young lovers to break away from the constraints of their hierarchical, and sometimes insane, society.

Featuring: Omicah House*,  Brian Hinds*, Neill Robertson, Michael Harris, Tom Schulz, Jenn Pennington*, Kelly Moore*, Meg Caudill, Danielle Warren, and Ashley Beck

*Original cast member for the intended summer 2015 production
