Pine Street Players Present: THE LEGEND OF BLACK DUCK
A thriller based on the true story of the notorious attack on the Black Duck Rumrunner
The basic facts are not in dispute. On Dec 29, 1929, at 2:15 a.m. at the entrance of Newport Harbor, a Coast Guard Patrol boat opened fire without provocation on the 50ft. rumrunner Black Duck. From there, stories changed, identities were forged, and the truth lay submerged for 50 years — until a researcher meets a mysterious old sea captain who knows more than it seems. On September 16, unlock the secrets of the Black Duck and decide for yourself who and what to believe.
Based on the short story, also written by celebrated local author Walt Scadden.
A cooperative effort between the Little Theatre of Manchester and the Pine Street Players to benefit veterans projects in Manchester.
