No Man Is An Island tells history of Partidge Island on the stage

 
SAINT JOHN, N.B. --
A play inspired by the history and hardship of Partridge Island is set to soon hit the stage in Saint John, as the Atlantic Repertory Company prepares for its first selection of the season.
The script for the play titled No Man Is An Island is written by local playwright Thomas Hodd and tells the story of the Irish immigrants who landed and quarantined on the island in the mid-19
th century.
"Specifically in Black '47, 1847, during the potato famine in Ireland," says actor Kenzie Delo. "(That) was sort of the catalyst for a lot of Irish immigrants making their way across the Atlantic to Canada, to America – but the story is very specific to Saint John itself."
