    Focusing on the women who work in a failing fish-packing plant, where their mothers and grandmothers also worked, "North Shore Fish" (1987) is the first of a cycle of "Gloucester plays" by Israel Horovitz, a playwright from New York and Gloucester (MA). The women in the plant are all locals, mostly in their thirties, as are the two men, Salvatore (Sally) Morella, the plant manager, and Alfred (Porker) Martino, the custodian. As the play opens, the women are arriving at work, casually stripping off their clothes to put on their smocks, making smalltalk, teasing Porker, and making raw jokes about Sally's libido. Their dialogue is natural, vulgar, and very funny. The entire cast & crew of this show will be teenagers, giving the local teens an adult professional theatre experience.

        First I have to say how delighted I am that this jewel of a theatre has landed in Palo Alto. This cast of talented teenagers is easy to accept as young adults. They conjure up laughter and pathos equally well, although it's a bit uncomfortable to think that they are truly capable of grasping the human dispair that's portrayed in the play. Its well worth your time to step into this intimate theatre and contemplate the human condition. Collapse
