READING – Captain Odyssey’s Piebald Parliament by Jonathan Kalb

On the Confidence, a majestic riverboat steaming down the Mississippi, full of scammers and scalawags, a scrappy orphan boy makes his way by wit, wisdom and a natural flair for charade. Based on Herman Melville’s The Confidence Man, this play follows the young boy’s travails as he navigates a treacherous and deeply theatrical world where nothing is quite as it seems.
