Summary "Captain Cranberry: A Cape Cod Comedy in Three Acts" by Gladys Ruth Bridgham is a theatrical comedy written in the early 20th century. This play unfolds primarily in Cape Cod, focusing on the life and challenges of Cynthia Tinker, who is faced with moving away from her lifelong home due to financial struggles. Key characters include the lightkeeper, Cranford Berry (Cap’n Cranberry), and several members of the community, including Abner Freeman and Ariel Freeman, creating a network of interactions that explore themes of belonging and resilience. The opening of "Captain Cranberry" sets the stage in Cynthia Tinker's living room on a stormy night, where she is busy packing for her impending move. Visitors, including her worried friend Hepsy Sawyer and young Samuel Sawyer, disrupt her task and provide comic relief through their lively chatter. As the scene unfolds, we learn about Cynthia's difficulties, her strong emotional connection to her home, and hints of community gossip regarding the mysterious newcomers to town. Ultimately, Cynthia decides to stay put after a visit from Cap’n cranberry, pushing her to reconsider her choices and instigating the play's central theme of finding one's place amidst life's uncertainties.
