About SAFE HAVEN

SAFE HAVEN is a Musical Play to commemorate Dartmouth’s role in the Mayflower voyage in 1620 by Keith Myerson and Derek Parsons. Commissioned by Marilyn Bird on behalf of Dartmouth Mayflower400.

The show is informed by contemporary works of William Bradford ‘Of Plymouth Plantation‘ (rendered into modern English by Harold Paget) and Robert Cushman (Aka Coachman) ‘The Cry Of A Stone‘, and the book ‘Mayflower‘ by the historian Nathaniel Philbrick.

SAFE HAVEN is a series of ten play-lets with songs to illustrate the Mayflower story, designed to be entertaining and informative. The show runs for about an hour. It is suitable for schools and theatre groups. If you want to learn more/would like to put the show on the writers can be contacted via the Dartmouth Mayflower400 website Contact Us form.
