“Whistling Psyche” envisions a meeting between Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, and pioneering surgeon James Barry, who lived his life as a man but, upon his death, was discovered to have been a woman. The production coincides with the launch of Arís Theatre, a Celtic-Irish-Scottish theater company that hopes to pick up where the one-time Atlanta company Theatre Gael left off.
