Island Theatre presents "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" by John Patrick Shanley

Danny is a trucker who people call The Beast. Roberta is a troubled young mother with a teenage son whom her parents now raise. After a hesitant, defensive initial meeting in a bar, they butt heads and egos before discovering through each other that there is a space for love in their lives.
