In 1916, radical things were brewing across the Atlantic between Provincetown and Dublin. This experimental one-act play is a staged reading, with musical numbers, is a Centennial mash-up between Pulitzer/Nobel Laureate playwright Eugene O’Neill and leader/poet of the Irish Easter Rebellion, Padraig Pearse.
Set on the ship, S.S. Glencairn, it is adapted from O’Neill’s 1916 Provincetown debut play, Bound East for Cardiff. O'Neill is played by Tom Thompson and Pearse by Runn Shayo. Musical numbers, with creative lyrics, include: Cape Cod Bay (formerly Galway Bay); Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral; and It's the Same Old Shillelagh.
