In this tightly-wound four-hander thriller written by Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller (In Everglade Studio, Press, Blood Red Apples & Deep Gold Honey), four characters navigate shifting alliances in the middle of the night in a seaside pub. A newcomer has missed her train. She waits for the next one, the last of the night, in a quiet pub near the station. Before long, a charming regular begins to chat. He soon proposes a deal to her, involving a gun, a hefty payout, and fleeing on the approaching train. As the evening ticks by, the regular and the bartender try to sweeten the deal, the port city’s sadistic sheriff makes an appearance, and as the train whistle gets closer, the newcomer must decide.
Drawing inspiration from the potboiler thrills of Hitchcock and the macabre storytelling of the Coen brothers, Port City Signature marks Black Bat Productions’ return to The Hope Theatre after their acclaimed run of In Everglade Studio.
