{"product_id":"captains-and-courage-9780822216353","title":"Captains and Courage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE STORY:\u003c\/b\u003e In Kipling's nineteenth-century story, Harvey Cheyne, an obnoxious rich boy, falls from the deck of a luxury liner and is rescued by a fishing boat, the \"We're Here,\" owned by a black captain, Disko Troop. Aboard the \"We're Here,\" Harvey learns about hard work, about courage, and about life. In Horovitz's twentieth-century counterpart (the two stories alternate in parallel development), Manny Shimma, a sixteen-year-old homeless wiseguy, in trouble with the law, finds himself hiding out on a tiny fishing boat, the \"Sylvie the 2nd,\" captained by Ben Cheyne, Harvey Cheyne's great-great-great grandson, with a single crewman, Roland Troop, Disko Troop's great-great-great grandson. Aboard the \"Sylvie the 2nd,\" Manny, too, learns about hard work, courage, and life. Modern and traditional sea-chanteys are sung by cast and chorus throughout the play. Live musicians can be used, on-stage and off. CAPTAINS AND COURAGE is a play of high adventure, full-blown emotion, and great dignity, a perfect choice for theater groups which use larger casts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for a multi-racial cast of 14 or more actors playing multiple roles, CAPTAINS COURAGE intermingles Kipling's 19th century tale of Gloucester fishermen with playwright Israel Horovitz's own tale of the modern-day descendants of Kipling's characters. Horovitz creates a brilliantly theatrical, imaginative, heart-wrenching adventure of the sea, of family, of love, of captains, and of courage. To be played on a barren stage, with simple platforms, uncomplicated costumes, and inexpensive stage-effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePublisher\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDramatists Play Service Inc.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFormat\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePlay\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBinding\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eISBN\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e9780822216353\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eStock code\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e9780822216353\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn-store pickup available.
