Description

Wander the bluffs of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and you might hear whispers of the ghost of Maria “Goody” Hallet, calling for (or cursing) her lover, “Black Sam Bellamy”. Come hear their tale.....this is not your average ‘happily ever after’ ending! Rona’s one woman show, “The Prince of Pirates and The Witch of Wellfleet”, is her version of a classic Cape Cod tale, set in the early 1700’s. It is an interesting intersection between legend and history....and truths that are both factual and real. Playing fifteen characters, Rona offers an engaging, powerful look at life in Puritan New England through the lens of story. It addresses the history of the era, universal themes, "gang mentality" of the masses, hypocrisy and resilience.

With the emotional depth and versatility of a Meryl Streep, Leventhal brings the haunting tale of Maria 'Goody' Hallet and 'Black Sam Bellamy' to life, proving that not all stories end with 'happily ever after.' A must-see for anyone who loves epic storytelling and riveting performances.”
