Public Workshop Performance

Performer, playwright and great, great, great grand daughter of Herman Melville returns to Arrowhead to “talk back” to THE CONFIDENCE MAN, the last published and completed novel by Melville in his lifetime. Set on a steamboat cruising down Mississippi, Doss jumps aboard, probing this text to grapple with her own encounters with “Confidence Men”, not to mention her own flagging confidence, and what the hell Melville is really getting at in his perhaps strangest, most provocative and perplexing work. Still in the larval phase of development, Doss asks you, “Do you need to read THE CONFIDENCE MAN?” This one-person performance (hopefully) offers a healthy mixture of insight, ignorance and some stabs at hilarity. Come cheer her on (or boo her off) for one night only at Arrowhead.
