Synopsis
A new play
Originally produced at New York's Circle Rep, this tender, ribald, and complex love story is set in a waterfront bar where seaman Harry Bales spends his shore leave.
"The Sea Horse" is run by Gertrude Blum, with whom Harry enjoys a purely physical relationship; they have never shared their private yearnings.
Gertrude has encased her heart behind a facade of toughness following a failed marriage.
Now Harry has a dream; he wants to buy a charter fishing boat and to have a son.
The play progresses through a ritual courtship as these two outwardly abrasive characters fight, make up, fight again, spin dreams, deflate them, make love and reveal their locked up secrets.
