"Spoon River Anthology" directed by Shane Wallis January 5, 2006

Fresh new generational eyes revive "Spoon River Anthology" in an astonishing stage adaptation, with music, of Edgar Lee Masters' haunting collection of short dramatic poems about common folk with unexpectedly discordant lives.

Vivid characters with emotional punch who are quirky and flawed and full of acid take center stage in this production. "The weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the fighters" and more.
