Tony Kushner's Adaptation of 17th Century Play The Illusion
- Full Price:
- $25.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
With this modern reinvention, Tony Kushner (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Angels in America) triumphantly reinvents L'illusion Comique,, the fascinating, theatrical fairy-tale first told by French classical dramatist Pierre Corneille more than 370 years ago. A father, on a mission to reunite with his estranged son, enlists the services of a powerful sorcerer who conjures up provocative images from the young man's life. The father is led deep into a maze of romance, intrigue, conspiracy, and murder. But just how much of it is true? Witty and profound, timely and transcendent, The Illusion weaves reality and truth with the magic of the theater. Learn More

Poignant, uplifting,athletic,enthusiastic,young men drumming and dancing their way out of hopelessness. A testimony to what a caring organization can offer to enable people to reach their potential. Great drumming, acrobatic dancing, but after a while, a certain sameness to the whole performance.Written on Sep 09 2010
