Synopsis: musical adaptation of The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, featuring music by Elizabeth Swados and puppets by Ralph Lee. According to the press release, "The Great Divorce takes audiences to an unfamiliar world where conscience is magnified and faults personified: A whispering lizard torments his keeper. A talking waterfall reaches out to a misguided opportunist. A melodramatic giant steals the voice of a husband reunited with his wife. A magical stallion appears just when all seems lost. It is a wild ride from Hell to Heaven that will forever change your view of life on Earth." nytheatre.com | ||||

Synopsis: Utilizing a fast-moving revue format, this immensely inventive theatre piece provides a truly distinctive and delightful experience for performers and audiences alike. The material, all set to original music by Miss Swados, is drawn from the works of such writers as Sylvia Plath, Muriel Rukeyser, Carson McCullers and Miss Swados herself, and runs the gamut from hilarious farce to the sadness of lovers' parting. The result, in the words of Clive Barnes, "is an all-singing, all-dancing, all-acting show a show that is clearly a life view about people, animals and the things we do to one another." | ||||
