Event
Danny and The Deep Blue Sea by John Patrick Shanley
The setting is a rundown bar in the Bronx, where two of society's rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a halting conversation over their beer. He is a brooding, self-loathing young man who resorts more to violence than reason; she is a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman whose troubled teenage son is now being cared for by her parents. Danny, whose fellow truck drivers call him "the animal," seems incapable of tender emotion, while Roberta is distrustful of men in general. And yet, as their initial reserve begins to melt, and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emergethe first for both of them. In the end there are no facile, easy answers, but thanks to the playwright's skill and compassion, both characters are able to find an exorcism and forgiveness that, while painfully achieved, offers the hope of a future touched, at last, with more than the bitterness and loneliness that had been their lot before their fateful meeting.
Sea Dog Theater was founded in 2016 after two successful collaborations between Christopher Domig and Janelle Garcia Domig: the international tour of DIRT (New York, London, Berlin, Edinburgh, Vancouver BC. Winner: Outstanding Actor Award in a Solo Play, NY Fringe), and The Waste Land (NY Fringe Festival). Together they discovered that the central questions in their work addressed the theme of alienation and reconciliation. They founded Sea Dog Theater in order to explore in greater depths how the experience of alienation and reconciliation pervades all aspects of the human condition.
Sea Dog Theater produces two full-productions each year with monthly reading events. Sea Dog Theater is unique in that they focus on hospitality and community development. There is a small reception after each event in which we have talk backs and get to know our audience.
