Masks Recommended, No Longer Required for Wirtz Center Audiences
By Tracy C. Davis
Directed by David Catlin
Designed by Marcus Doshi
The Great Sea Serpent portrays the laying of the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable–a technological feat that revolutionized communications and ushered in global capitalism–and links it with a tale by Hans Christian Andersen that tells of the cable’s arrival from the perspective of sea creatures. This great “serpent” is a marvel to humans, who see it as the birth of the Information age, and a threat to sea life, for whom it portends the arrival of more and more man-made industrial detritus in the sea.
Join writer Tracy C. Davis, director David Catlin, and the cast for a talkback immediately following the Friday, May 3 performance.
Recommended for ages 13 and up.
The show runs 90 minutes with no intermission.
Audience advisories – Strobe lights, loud sounds, flashing lights
