Flying Swine presents a workshop reading of

HUDSON ADRIFT
a new play by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel
with Donald Kimmel, as Henry Hudson

An intimate portrayal of Henry Hudson in his last
extremity. In 1611, searching for the Northwest Passage on
his ship Discovery, Hudson, his son and several loyal crew
members were cast adrift in an open boat by a mutinous crew.

By turns lucid and delirious, he relives his failed
attempts to discover a northeast passage, his triumphant
discovery and exploration of the Hudson River, and his
disastrous miscalculation of the limits of human tolerance
aboard Discovery. Hudson is brought vividly to life as he
struggles with his conscience, his reason, and the
unforgiving elements.

Friday and Saturday, door opens 7:30pm

Reading begins @ 8pm, followed by discussion of play
with Flying Swine Artistic Director Donald Kimmel
