Mary Celeste & The Beast Of The Bowery

Mary Celeste & The Beast Of The Bowery

There have been many theories about what happened aboard the Mary Celeste, the latest being that her cargo of neat alcohol had been stored in un-seaworthy casks which leaked vapours throughout the ship, turning the crew into walking drunks and filling them with delirium and madness. All we do know is that they were never seen again. But one small rowing boat was missing, adrift on the Adriatic, on board: a priest, a cabin boy and a woman in chains. A long night draws to a close with recriminations, accusations and revelations.

 

The show is 50 min and makes extensive use of soundscapes and darkness. It is a horror genre play and as such is not suitable for children and contains inferences of a sexual nature and language which some may find offensive. Not for those of a nervous disposition.
