Captain Cranberry : A Cape Cod comedy in three acts

On a blustery Cape Cod evening, Cynthia Tinker hurriedly packs the last of her belongings from a modest living room, aware that tomorrow she must leave for a new life in Falmouth. Her old friend Hepsy Sawyer bursts in from the storm, offering tea and a steadying presence while trading sharp banter about the town’s gossip. As the fire crackles, the two women discuss a puzzling offer from Captain Daniels – a fully furnished house that could spare Cynthia the pain of moving herself.

The play unfolds amid the salty air of Bay Point, introducing a cast of idiosyncratic locals: retired whaler Abner Freeman, earnest constable Lemuel Sawyer and his storytelling son Sammy, and the enigmatic lighthouse keeper Cranford Berry. Their daily squabbles and whispered rumors create a warm, comedic portrait of a close‑knit maritime community. Listeners will be drawn into the lively dialogue and the lingering question of who truly holds the key to Cynthia’s new home.
