ABOUT THE SHOW
"SELKIE PLAY" is an original play by Kara O’Rourke named after the Irish myth of the "SELKIE," a creature who can shapeshift between seal and human form.
In the stories, "SELKIE" women are often forced to wed human men who steal and hide away their seal skin, without which they cannot return to the sea.
Through this mythology and some other familiar faces from literature, the text explores ideas of gender fluidity, gender roles, cisnormativity, heteronormativity, sexuality, and the desire to reclaim one’s identity after it’s been stolen.
Also fishing nets, harpoons, flower crowns, and Captain Ahab from "Moby Dick."
