Inspired by a real queer historic document, this 40 minute drama by Lawrence Gullo explores the bonds of gay masculinity in the shadow of 18th century maritime laws. Under the direction of Cas Berta, the original Boston Fringe cast embody the ghost of a Dutchman marooned for the crime of loving another man and the two English sailors charged with translating the journal of his last words.
