Production information at http://www.playwrightslocal.org/ghost-ship-hunter/ . PL Radio series information at www.playwrightslocal.org/plradio/. Synopsis The year is 2078. Dr. Cadence Wheatstone and her partner, Frank Drake, V, use time travel to find clues to treat diseases that emerged during the era of global climate change and COVID. However, using time travel also to find evidence of ancient ghost ship stories has become Frank’s hobby, often getting him into trouble. That leads to this journey back to the Arctic Ocean in the 1770s, when Frank gets blown off a ghost ship in an ice storm. Cadence and her father Alexander, a distinguished forensic astrophysicist, must figure out what really froze the old pirates in place — including one running down a corridor — before a whaling ship found their three-masted schooner off the coast of Greenland. >From the Producers Check out The Ghost Ship Hunter along with other recent releases including Love and Ecstasy by Gail Nyoka, Family Markers by Faye Sholiton, and Limbo by Agnes Herrmann at PL Radio <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/plradio/>, and look for additional new material in the coming weeks! *Credits* Run Time: 21:00 Produced by Playwrights Local <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/> with Radio on the Lake Theatre <https://radioonthelaketheatre.org/>.
