Publisher's Synopsis
The Scallop Shanty: A Chatham Play is a theatrical work written by Carol Van Buren Wight and originally published in 1918. Set in the coastal town of Chatham, Massachusetts, the play tells the story of a group of local fishermen and their families who gather at the Scallop Shanty, a popular meeting spot where they share stories, sing songs, and discuss their struggles and triumphs. The play explores themes of community, family, love, and loss, and offers a glimpse into the lives of working-class people in early 20th century New England. With its colorful characters and engaging dialogue, The Scallop Shanty is a charming and insightful portrayal of a bygone era, and remains a beloved classic of American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
