“ELEVATES A TRAGEDY TO MYTHIC PROPORTIONS,
REVERBERATING ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR CORE!
Gallagher activates his whole body making him
MORE ALIVE THAN THE REST OF US!
Enscoe SURRENDERS HIMSELF FULLY!
A true stage actor’s ability to make
EVERYTHING AROUND HIM TURN HEAVENWARD!”
– San Francisco Chronicle

Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch) blew the roof off Berkeley Rep in 2009 with Green Day’s American Idiot. Now he returns with a captivating world premiere musical, this time featuring a book by Tony Award-winning stage and screen writer John Logan (Red, Broadway’s Moulin Rouge!, Skyfall, Gladiator), and music and lyrics by “America’s biggest roots band” (Rolling Stone) and multiple Grammy Award nominee The Avett Brothers.

1888, off the coast of New Bedford, MA. When a violent storm sinks their whaling ship, the four surviving souls—a young man in search of adventure, his big brother who has sworn to protect him, a captain at the end of a long career at sea, and a worldly first mate who has fallen from grace—each face a reckoning: How far will I go to stay alive? And can I live with the consequences?

Produced by special arrangement with Matthew Masten, Sean Hudock, and Madison Wells Live.
