A Safe Passage

Following her emotionally gripping performance of Mary and Me at The Players’ Ring at the beginning of 2020, local actress and producer Emily Karel is once again teaming up with acclaimed playwright Irene Kelleher to present the US premiere of A Safe Passage, produced by Glass Dove Productions. A Safe Passage is running from November 4th-13th at The Players’ Ring in Portsmouth, NH.

It is New Year\’s Eve in Ireland. The year is 1979. Christy, a lonely light house keeper, is not entirely certain he wants to see 1980. But when he sees a young woman on the rocks poised to jump into the sea, he races into the storm to pull her back from the brink. But Christy is about to realize that the woman is not what she seems and this final rescue is much more than he bargained for. Irene Kelleher’s uncanny ability to capture the depth of the human soul is on display as she teaches audiences that redemption and destruction can come in many forms.
