A dream theater meditation on how art survives in the midst of a firestorm.

An original adaptation of the 2005 National Book Award winning novel.

REVIEWS:

Brilliant ... a powerful, deeply theatrical script that successfully imagines fact and concretizes the imagined into a dream-world of passionately felt truths about the realities of art, love, the State (whichever one), death, war, and hope.
