Set against the nautical backdrop of the South Street Seaport - at once
a reminder of New York's maritime past and its overwhelmingly mercantile
present – Hope & Anchor dredges up ghosts and modern-day denizens
then sends them crashing together in a gruff display of bad temper, dashed
hopes and delayed deliverance. Fleeting images and tarnished sea shanties
conjure semblances of sailors, sirens and impending storms. Garfield
and Morris remind us of our potent connection to the sea, and our reliance
on its good faith.
