A SEVENTH STREET PLAYHOUSE STAGED READING OF

THE BOTTICELLI CRUISE

IN THE TERRACE GALLERY

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2012 at 1 PM 

  

Especially designed for sinners.  Misses being politically correct.  Is the play disrespectful of religions? Four strange humans!  They travel the dangerous East Coast of Africa. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?   Where do they come from?  Are they who they say they are?   Will psychiatrists help?  Probably not.  What do they want?  What are they looking for?  Why are they on this trip? Three bizarre and confused characters, plus an elusive Captain, appear in this two-act drama about a cruise on a small exclusive cruise ship, The Botticelli, which sails around the east coast of Africa along the warm Indian Ocean. BERNARD is taking his 40th cruise.  BOO, now on her 10th cruise, early forties, five times married, likes her gin.  And ARTHUR, the accommodating Somalian waiter, is very obliging toward both, but seems secretive.  They cruise toward dangerous ports with revolutions, terrorists, and pirates.  All rumors, of course. They each claim they want nothing.  And then the weird ship Captain?
