ROCHESTER, New Hampshire
— The Rochester Performance & Arts Center will open a new
historical play based on the 1873 brutal murders out on the Isles of
Shoals.
“Isles
In the Moon” is a historical murder mystery written by local
playwright, Jeffrey Symes, recounting actual events that occurred here
in our own backyard. In 1873, two innocent Norwegian immigrant women
were brutally murdered out on the Isles of Shoals right off of the
Portsmouth Harbor. The man accused of the crime was jailed in North
Berwick, arrested next door in Farmington, NH, and put on trial.
In
this first Youth Drama at the Rochester Performance & Arts Center,
eight incredible Noble High School students will blow you away as you
witness the murders, the trial, and the aftermath. This production is
deliciously designed - dressed in authentic, antique Victorian and
Norwegian costumes and set pieces lovingly collected by local
Award-Winning Director, Jenn Batchelder.
The show runs from October 5-14.
Check the website for specific show dates. Tickets start at $15.
Reserve tickets online or call the box office (603) 948-1099. Visit www.rochesteroperahouse.com/rpac for more information.
