This summer, Maine’s Isle Theater Company will stage the world premiere of At Horsepower Farm, an original play by local playwright David Susman. This moving drama portrays a family at a crossroads, weighing the future of their long-held family farm in the fictional rural town of Dover Falls.
At Horsepower Farm touches on themes of legacy, progress, and preserving family bonds against the passage of time. Susman drew inspiration from real-life small towns grappling with development and shifting values. His nuanced characters illustrate the emotional complexity behind change.
Staged on the grounds of a 19th century farm, the outdoor production aims to transport audiences right into the heart of a rural community at a turning point. The play’s natural setting and talented cast promise an impactful theatrical experience.
