“The Love of Women in Their Eyes... The Salt of the Sea in Their Blood!”

DramaWar

The crew of the merchant ship Glencairn hope to survive a transatlantic crossing during World War II. Adapted from four Eugene O'Neill one-act plays.

VIBE

A suffocating, character-driven drama. The cramped confines of the ship amplify the crew's simmering tensions and existential dread. It's a grim, atmospheric journey through the perils of war and the human spirit.
