A Child Shall Lead Them: Making of the Night Hunter November 18, 2011

The 1955 film The Night of the Hunter was largely ignored upon its release but is now widely regarded as an American masterpiece.

This new multimedia production is a historical re-imagining of the making of the film, woven from the classic screenplay and accounts of the shooting from those who were there.

The play, written by director Derek Goldman, provides a powerful new framework for experiencing this uniquely chilling tale of corruption and evil, in which the forces of creation and destruction do battle with each other.
