LAST CHANCE! You still have time to see this deeply moving production of DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA by John Patrick Shanley. Our final production will be today, August 30, matinee at 2:00 PM.

Don’t miss the compelling, moving, riveting performances by Noah Carmel and Grace Johnson!

Don’t miss the beautiful direction by Kim Dupuis of this strangely compelling and powerful drama.

Danny, played by Noah Carmel, is a violent young man shunned by his workmates as “a beast,” who meets Roberta, played by Grace Johnson, a deeply wounded young woman profoundly distrustful of men. Their aggressive interaction becomes a proving ground for different life paths and, possibly, a hopeful future for both.

Violence, guilt, self-hatred, distrust – these are not-so-admirable qualities.

Watch a series of events unfold that allows hope to spring into the hearts of two very troubled souls meeting in a Bronx bar. Where can it go? Well, come and see!

Performances are August 21-22 and 27-29 at 7:30 PM and August 23 and 30 at 2 PM

The play premiered in 1983 at Circle in the Square with John Turturro and June Stein; it won an Obie award for John Turturro. It was revived in 2023, with Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott; in 2024, it was nominated for a Drama League award for an outstanding revival and for a Lucille Lortel award for a distinguished performance.

Join us for this very touching play about the power of human connection and the difference it can make in our lives!

Performances are August 21-22 and 27-29 at 7:30 PM and August 23 and 30 at 2 PM, at The Edge Theater, 310 Marlboro St., Suite 112, Keene.

Tickets are $20 general admission, $18 for seniors and students, and must be purchased at the door by cash or check. No credit cards at this time.

DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA BY JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY

FEATURED ARTISTS OF THE DAY Noah Carmel and Grace Johnson

Don’t miss their riveting performances!

NOAH CARMEL (DANNY) is grateful to return to The Edge after a few years’ hiatus, having started the “second wind” of his theatrical career at the Edge in Our Town, playing George Gibbs (opposite Grace, luckily enough). In Danny, the small-town old-school romance has shifted into something more sinister and provocative, yet no less redeeming in the end. Other local credits include Angel in the Keene Lions Club production of Rent, Agatha Trunchbull in the Wild Goose Players production of Matilda, and various voices in Under Milk Wood at Actors Theatre Playhouse. Noah is a graduate of the Walnut Hill School for the Arts, and has worked in professional and community theatre for over a decade (if you crunch the numbers), and hopes to continue his theatrical studies in Keene and abroad, while still managing to pay the bills and support his lavish tendencies. In Danny, Noah hopes you find light treading over any darkness, the darkness being ultimately what keeps us from being our best authentic selves.

GRACE JOHNSON (ROBERTA) was last seen on The Edge stage in Marked Women. Past favorite roles include Emily in Our Town (The Edge) Sister James in Doubt (The Edge), Kattrin in Mother Courage and Her Children (Apron Theater Company, Putney), and Feste in Twelfth Night (Northeast Stage, Greenport, NY). She is shaped by her training at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, MA, as well as by her studies of theatre and psychology (Dartmouth) and dance/movement therapy (Antioch), and by her various explorings, from New England to New York to the US-Mexico border and beyond. Love.

About the play… Violence, guilt, self-hatred, distrust – these are not-so-admirable qualities.
