Sarah Flood In Salem Mass – Location, Tickets, Reviews
Sarah Flood In Salem Mass, an unconventional play written by Obie Award winner Adriano Shaplin, is having its world premiere in New York City at The Flea.
Sarah Flood is a girl from the future. She is bored with life and travels back to 17th century Salem on a mission to change history, stop the witch trials, and save the lives of the women persecuted. As she is drawn in deeper, she realizes the conflict is not about religious extremism, but greed. The village is torn apart by the desire for power and fortune, and the young women who try to do what is right end up caught in the middle.
The play has a minimal set on a foggy stage with cloth strips hanging from the ceiling. Constantly juxtaposing multiple scenes on the stage, it navigates through intertwined narratives to give the audience a full understanding of the events. Music and dance are incorporated to enhance the anxiety and somberness of the story. Sarah Flood In Salem Mass is a riveting, beautifully sad tale explored with inventive storytelling techniques.
