WHERE DOES “SCOTLAND ROAD” LEAD?
by Jane Bergeron Contributing Writer
I hate to repeat myself,
but every summer I make the same comment about the Winnipesaukee Play- house - they include in their summer line-up one piece that’s totally unknown to me and an absolute delight (not that my theater expertise is so extensive that they would find it difficult to locate such a play). So for 2010, I have to name “Scotland Road” by Jeffrey Hatcher as that unexpected treat. Not the common story within a story, “Scotland Road” is more of a possible hoax within a hoax, that begins with the discovery in 1992 of a wistful young woman adrift on an ice- berg in the North Atlantic ocean. When Norwegian fishermen discover her, she is totally mute except for the utterance of one single word – Titanic. She certainly can’t expect any- one to believe her to be a survivor of the sinking of most legendary ocean lin- er, stopped in its track by an iceberg some 80 years earlier, or can she? The doctor who first in-
identity is not the only one in question. Her meet- ing with the only other known survivor unlocks some doors and intro- duces Dorothy Piquado to
the Winni P’s professional stage. Her Miss Kittle is a truly haunting character to the other characters as well as to the audience.

terviews her in Iceland is played splendidly by newcomer Bryn Jameson. Through suggestions and subtleties, she probes and pries, trying to elicit any information that would confirm or negate the pos- sibility that this waif-like girl had actually not only sailed on the Titanic but somehow survived the di- saster and existed in some twilight or frozen zone all
these years. Descendant of famed John Jacob As- tor who was lost in the tragedy, a latter day John whisks the two ladies to an isolated location in Maine to continue the testing. As the interrogation rolls
along over the following days, it becomes more evi- dent that the young lady’s
