About the Play…
The play is set in an old abandoned tavern on Great Island in Wellfleet. Once a year during a full moon in October, the lost and forgotten souls of Cape Cod come out of the shadows and share their tales. The tales are a collection of original stories - mysterious and haunting - of the supernatural world of Cape Code. It’s the perfect Halloween outing for adults with a taste for the macabre.
