Workshop Production of The Seawife

I saw a workshop production last night of a musical play called The Seawife, created in an interesting collaborative way by a group of actors/folk musician called The Lobbyists. Our friend actor/singer Molly Gilman was in it as cellist and cabin boy (and a few other parts).

Wonderful Civil War style costumes, ghosts, evil pirates, Leviathan, and a terrific harpooning scene that almost speared-- me in the audience!
