A Shore of Abundance: A New Fantasy of Fortune and Fate
We are thrilled to announce the publication of A Shore of Abundance, the latest addition to the Gitelman & Good Publishers catalog! Written by the talented Rosemary Pearl Moore, this enchanting fantasy is filled with adventure, heart, and moral dilemmas that will captivate high school audiences and performers alike.
A Fantasy of Adventure and Identity
A Shore of Abundance follows Eleanor Brooks, a seventeen-year-old girl who retreats into a fantastical world she creates in her mind—a world where she becomes the daring and fearless Captain Brooks, commander of a magical pirate ship. In this world, Eleanor embarks on a quest to rescue her father from the clutches of the Sea Witch of Brittle Bay. Alongside her loyal crew, including her best friend Sarah and her brother JJ (Princess Juniper in this imagined world), Eleanor navigates a series of thrilling adventures across the sea.
In reality, Eleanor grapples with her complicated family relationships, her desire to learn about her biological father, and the pressure of looming decisions about her future. As the lines blur between her fantasy world and real life, Eleanor is forced to confront her deepest fears, insecurities, and truths about herself and those she loves. A Shore of Abundance beautifully explores the themes of identity, belonging, and the complexity of family bonds.
A Perfect Play for High School Productions
The Shore of Abundance is an ideal production for high school theater programs, featuring an ensemble cast of vibrant, multidimensional characters. Students will be challenged to balance the high-energy fantasy elements with the emotional depth of the real-world struggles Eleanor faces. With its blend of swashbuckling action, humor, and heartfelt moments, the play offers an exciting and rewarding opportunity for young actors.
