SEA CHANGE
One boat. Five friends. Twenty-five years. Nick Salamone’s play takes place entirely on a small fishing vessel off the coast of Massachusetts. Five college friends—three gay men and two lesbians—set sail on a whale-watching expedition in the summer of ’74. The play traces the odyssey of their lives and the survival of their love for one another through the last quarter of the 20th century.
