Don't Give Up the Ship

<p><strong>4f 1m (or 1nb 3f 1m)</strong></p><p></p><p>When Diana a middle-aged mother of two wakes up as Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry hero of the War of 1812 she suddenly commands much more of her life than she used to. Imagining that her daughters are warring lieutenants her ex-husband is her four-year-old son and her nurse Lizzie is her darling wife Diana establishes an identity that is much closer to her true self than anyone expected.</p><p></p><p>Don't Give Up the Ship intimately examines that notion of self and how it affects those we love the most. Playwright Laura Neill builds a fantastical world from epic naval battles with Swiffers to sailing the high seas from the bedroom all while keeping the microscope focused tightly on one family.</p><p></p><p>For performance licensing visit UproarTheatrics.com</p>
