Charleston Community Theatre Presents “Drowning Sorrows”
Charleston Community Theatre closes out its 2022/2023 season with Drowning Sorrows produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. Drowning Sorrows is written by Douglas Post.
The plot centers around a woman who stumbles into a remote bar on the Carribean island of St. John – and faints. It isn’t the tropical drinks that befell Emily Miles, but the sight of the bartender, Duncan Crawford. In the restless Duncan, Emily is sure she recognizes the young man she has been searching for since he left her at the alter 20 years ago.
