In Portsmouth tonight, I sat enthralled at a performance of “Roadside America,” a play produced by a community theatre troupe called The Players’ Ring.
Maine playwright Susan Morse’s debut work, “Roadside America” follows the up-and-down emotions of Maggie, a woman in a troubled marriage, who befriends Sam, a tomboyish 9-year-old girl.
Morse based her script on a news story of a child found living alone in a house. To say more may give away the plot…which was spellbinding for me as I wanted more when the cast bowed.
Set in present-day New England, the Portsmouth Herald News recently previewed the play and interviewed Morse.
The play opened last weekend and ends next weekend, with performances next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
