29 - 31 January - Pontine Theatre
(additional performances through February 7)
THE COUNTRY OF THE POINTED FIRS
Sarah Orne Jewett’s classic portrait of life in a 19th century New England maritime village. Using storytelling, music, masks and puppetry, Pontine brings Jewett’s characters to life in this original stage adaptation. There’s Mrs. Todd, a country woman whose knowledge of local herbs and traditional medicine earns her living; Mrs. Blackett, the matriarch of Green Island who remains a child at heart; and Captain Littlepage, who is haunted by memories of his strange adventures at sea. Pontine’s collage of poetic movement, intimate stories, and traditional melodies plays homage to the simple beauty and insight of Jewett’s masterpiece.
