The Award Winning Albatross Opens For Limited Run At Gloucester Stage Company

 Inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s classic, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Albatross brings Coleridge’s tortured seaman into the present day to recount one man’s doomed journey on the open sea. Written by Matthew Spangler and Benjamin Evett, Albatross, a fast paced adventure filled with sea battles, storms, and ice-bound ships, uses visually thrilling stagecraft powered by the latest multimedia technology to bring The Mariner into the modern world. In his Gloucester Stage debut, actor and co-author Benjamin Evett recreates his bravura 2015 Elliot Norton-winning solo performance of The Mariner in this rollicking sea yarn staged by director Rick Lombardo. Following the limited engagement at GSC, Albatross will enjoy runs at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, 2016 and at 59E59 Theaters in New York City in January, 2017. Albatross runs from June 16th through July 3rd, at Gloucester Stage Company.
