Experience the powerful drama and emotional depth of “Resonance of Passion: From Battlefield to the Sea”—a compelling double bill of short plays that brings to life the extraordinary stories of two Kennebunk women navigating love, loyalty, and personal turmoil in the nineteenth century.
In the first play, “Waves of Betrayal*,” immerse yourself in the turbulent life of a sea captain’s wife whose forbidden affair unfolds against the backdrop of the open ocean, challenging the boundaries of fidelity and desire. The second play, “Echoes of the Heart,” follows the poignant journey of a wife who faces the trials of the Civil War while struggling to keep her family united amidst the chaos. Citing primary source letters from the collection of the Brick Store Museum, these gripping narratives explore the complexities of human emotion and the resilience of women in vastly different yet equally intense circumstances.
Your admission includes a unique historical culinary experience featuring the timeless staple of the sea—hardtack—paired with a taste of General Ambrose Burnside’s legendary punch! Discover the rich history behind these recipes from the past as we celebrate Kennebunk’s maritime tradition and the art of Civil War mixology. Don’t miss out on this memorable evening!
