Newton Free Library presents Prince of Pirates & the Witch of Wellfleet
April 20, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Prince of Pirates & the Witch of Wellfleet (for ages 16+)
Join storyteller Rona Leventhal for an enthralling, pre-recorded rendition of her one-woman show, The Prince of Pirates and the Witch of Wellfleet. Rona will present her version of a classic Cape Cod tale that is a mixture of history and legend, set in the early 1700s. Playing fifteen characters, Rona offers an engaging, powerful look at life in Puritan New England through the lens of the story. The show addresses the history of the era, universal themes, “gang mentality” of the masses, hypocrisy, and resilience. A Q and A will follow.
This program is for ages 16+ only.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Newton local cultural council, a local agency that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
