A storm. A shipwreck. Four survivors. As they fight to stay alive, these New Bedford whalers must confront who they are, what they’ve done, and whether forgiveness is possible. Featuring a book by John Logan and music from The Avett Brothers, Swept Away is a gripping, heart-rending new musical about brotherhood, morality, and the cost of survival.
