The Flying Dutchman Boards the Staten Island Ferry
Zander and his boyfriend Eric are traveling home on the Staten Island Ferry following a performance of The Flying Dutchman at the Met. Realizing the two have nothing in common, Eric breaks up with Zander, who is confronted by the ghost of the Dutchman himself. Condemned to travel the seas until he can find a savior willing to lift him from a curse, the Dutchman persuades Zander to sacrifice his own life. Seeing Zander ready to jump overboard, Eric talks him down, the boyfriends reconcile, and the Dutchman finds eternal rest as the curse is lifted.
Before turning to playwriting full-time, Larry Rinkel taught college English in New Jersey and later worked as a technical writer. A lifelong devotee of art, theatre, film, and classical music, he has had work produced across the United States, and his full-length A Kreutzer Sonata was awarded Best Play at the Secret Theatres 2017 UNFringed Festival. Other produced plays include adaptations from Chaucer and Dante, a farce about gender-blind casting in Shakespeare, another farce that takes place in a Chinese restaurant, several (mostly gay) romantic comedies, and a few 1-minute plays including a very cute one about Chopins Minute Waltz.
