Pirate comedy at Silvan Ridge
Parrots in Peril
A
vast, ye son of a biscuit eater! Tales
of treachery in the sweet trade lie
ahead.
That’s right, they’re back. Silvan Ridge
Winery hosts The Poison Pen Players for
another evening of hilarious homicide with
AAARRRGH! PinkEye: A Pirate’s Parrot in
Peril.
The Player’s latest piece of fun fl uff sets its
swashbuckling characters in a seaside tavern
with another murder mystery to solve and
a boatload of broad jokes to crack. Director
Melanie Heard has her actors stretching into
larger-than-life characters. The beautiful piratess
Ursula Napier (Victoria Seitzinger) seeks
revenge on the notorious Captain Rackham
(David Lauria) and his squiffy sidekick Tobias
Scabb (Jacob Ternyik). Proprietress Dimples
DeBouff (Genevieve Meltzer) attempts to keep
the peace while PinkEye the Parrot (Jason
Wood) spills the secrets needed to solve the
mystery.
The Poison Pen Players specialize in over-
the-top campy comedy. While they would never
to expect you to appreciate a three-and-a-half
hour Russian play, they may ask you to take
part in action. No one, not even the director,
really knows what may occur at a Poison
Pen performance. A hearty dinner and desert
accompany the theatricals. Be you a pirate at
heart or law-abiding landlubber, it’s hard to
resist an evening of silliness and swordfi ghts,
good wine and goofy plot twists.
