Tenders in the Fog
3 Men, 1 Woman, 90 Minutes
Drama
A Shanachie, or traditional Irish storyteller, tells the tale of the Bailey Banshee and the ghost ship, Trinity. As the audience meets the crew of the doomed ship (three generations of fishermen) the Shanachie becomes a shape-shifting Banshee, taking on different guises in a siren-like attempt to lure the men into the sea. The story is a haunting and fugue-like exploration of the lives of three men and their relationships to each other and the sea as well as a possible explanation of their sudden disappearance.
