Veteran solo performer Mark Kenward (Riding From Normal, The Yoga of Moby-Dick), returns to The Marsh with his most ambitious work yet. It occurred in an instant. On a gray winter’s day, on an island thirty miles out to sea, 16-year-old Mark Kenward witnessed his mother commit a violent act that would shatter his family and shock the local community. NANTUCKET, a haunting yet hilarious memoir about Kenward’s experience moving from Normal, Illinois to island “paradise,” delves past the iconic summer images into the off-season, when the tourists are gone, the winters are gray and challenging to the psyche, and life is as “far from Normal” as can be. This unique solo performance event features guest artists presenting music, video, and fine art photography inspired by Nantucket. Each performance will feature a New England picnic dinner from the East Bay premiere artisan takeout restaurant Grégoire, served during intermission. NANTUCKET plays May 3 through June 14, 2014 Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:00 pm.
