Story

When a violent storm sinks their whaling ship off the coast of New Bedford, Mass., the four survivors face a reckoning: how far will they go to stay alive? And can they live with the consequences?

 

Know Before You Go

Including Avett Brothers songs such as “No Hard Feelings,” “Murder in the City” and “Ain’t No Man”, Swept Away is inspired by the Avett Brothers’ 2004 concept album Mignonette, which was itself inspired by the story of the 1844 shipwreck of that name.

"My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The set design, music and performers were fantastic. The lighting truly changed the moods accordingly. Would highly recommend seeing this show. It takes a dark turn but overall walked out feeling good. "

"The performers have been described as stellar, stunning, a revelation, man eye candy and just dang captivating! The brilliant set and fabulous score by the Avett Bros. just adds to the "marvelousness". I loved everything about this show except that I'm too far away to see it a second time... unless everyone gets tickets now and it gets extended! "
