The Curse of the Goddamned Ship is the sordid tale of a crew of wandering sea merchants whose beauteous figurehead is taken by King Neptune to keep as his bride in the briny depths. Searching to replace this priceless guide of ship and seaman, the crew steal themselves a damsel from the heavens, a constellation called The Maiden, and inadvertently incur the wrath of the gods once again. They are damned to put on a show, extolling the virtues of the night sky and her sparkling bedmates, the constellations, whom they have disgraced. Full of songs, burlesque, puppetry, poetry, and merriment, ’tis a fine fable of folly fit for a theatre and well-suited for the bar.
