Six-time Obie Award-winning actor and playwright David Greenspan has adapted Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel into a wryly lyrical fable of fate love and the transformative magic of theater. This quiet masterpiece - a dazzling rumination on the nature of love - is a richly multifaceted tale of five travelers in colonial Peru who are hurled to their deaths by a collapsing bridge. ??????"Beautifully scripted... Greenspan's version is efficient (75 minutes not six hours) playful and most of all dexterous with language. Lines are frequently in verse and even the prose passages are vibrantly lyrical. It is a whimsical fairy tale about big themes like love longing loss and loneliness but it is first a paean to the joys and powers of words." - NJ.com "Daring... both play and novel trace these fibrous knotty and doomed characters across time and space as they weave around each other precariously entwined frayed from mishaps and misery before plunging to their fore-announced deaths." - The Wall Street Journal "Greenspan's writing possesses a musical quality that never detracts from Wilder's examination of among other things life death relationships destiny and divine intention... Wilder fans will appreciate that Greenspan has left much of Wilder's text intact." - Aaron Krause Theatrical Musings
