The Mourning Primrose

English explorers on a 17th century voyage of discovery in the Caribbean encounter mystery, murder and – what else but – pirates!

After the discovery of a curious new flower, the already tense relationships between individual crewmembers, not to mention relations with the islanders and local pirates, reach a deadly climax.

How will those left alive deal with what they have done?

 

The Mourning Primrose premiered on 16 November 2007 at the Vernissa theatre in Vantaa.
