Description

All who enjoyed Kent Stephens’ prior History Theatre events at Strawbery Banke know they’re in for a treat as well as twists and turns of fate, some authentic and some imagined when a new show comes to life. In each space audience members enjoy a vintage wine along with a Portsmouth story and/or character that fits the date of each house. The 1768 story in Sherburne is entitled "Spite Cake." The tale in Chase, “9 Bottles of Madeira,” ranges from 1852 through 1907. And in an 1898 setting in the Goodwin House kitchen they learn of "Hobson's Choice".  Before the final “curtain” audience members cast their votes on which of the stories is “The Fraud” and the name of the winner of a bottle of wine is drawn from the correct answers.

PLEASE BE AWARE THIS PRODUCTION REQUIRES WALKING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE ON UNEVEN GROUND AND THAT THERE ARE STEPS INTO THE HOUSES.

Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum, in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is an authentic 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing 300+ years of American history in the same waterfront neighborhood to life. The Museum is a place for children, adults, multigenerational families, and groups to gather to explore eight heritage gardens, 32 historic buildings, and traditional crafts, preservation programs, hands-on activities, the stories told by costumed role-players and the changing exhibits that offer hours of fun and discovery. The Museum's restored buildings and open space invite visitors to immerse themselves in the past, using objects from the museum's collection of 30,000 artifacts, and the histories of the families who lived and worked in the Puddle Dock neighborhood to engage, educate, and entertain.
