The piece is written/directed by Drew Vanderburg and will feature music from members of the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. It marks the 400th anniversary of the mutiny of Hudson's crew and his subsequential abandonment on a boat-cast-adrift in the Hudson Bay. He was never seen or heard from again. The 5-minute-play's story is that he in fact lived a long happy life with Native Americans and fell in love with the land that he discovered. He dies at the source of the Hudson River, Lake Tear of the Clouds. The clouds cry for his death and the flow of their tears creates the river.
