sea metaphore
Hi!
Could you please take a look at this sentence and see if it makes sense?
Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade , the third production for the third season, brought a new atmosphere to the XY Islands-a state of complete madness and playfulness. Murderers, fools, loosers, a whole set of bizarre characters completed the trilogy that sailed through the high seas of history.
1. Can we say that characters completed the trilogy? Perhaps rounded is better?
2. sailed through the high seas of history? Does it work in English?
Thank you

Dear Antonia,
The «trilogy» is a ship in your metaphor. You may therefore say «manned».
The phrase «the trilogy that sailed» is strange. Perhaps you mean «the trilogy as it sailed».
It is a most florid passage. What the «high seas of history» may be, I cannot comprehend.
Kind regards,
