Synopsis:
The Billingsgate Project follows a team of amateur historians as they try to piece together an evening of historical entertainment. Focusing on the early 20th century dissolution of the once-thriving colony on Wellfleet's Billingsgate Island, the play explores our culture's relationship with nostalgia, narrative, and authenticity, and considers the side effects that historical attachments can have on our contemporary lives
