Declan O'Donnell doesn't exactly converse with a seagull, but David Drummond's distinctive performance certainly gives the impression that Declan's intellectual meanderings are affirmed by the winged creature. Drummond's range of expression, pitch, and emphasis lends whimsical meaning to the musings of Declan, who has sailed from Oregon into the vast Pacific on a voyage with no clear goal or intention. This solitary maritime quest eventually becomes crowded with entertaining and unusual passengers, all portrayed acrobatically by Drummond. It’s a joy to ride the waves of Doyle's prose, as the protagonist’s memories and newly introduced residents on the tiny vessel "Plover" come together in a celebration of life. A.W.
