The Illusion
by Pierre Corneille
Freely adapted by Tony Kushner


November 9,10,16,17 @ 8PM
November 18 @ 2PM


When a rigid father engages a magician to find his estranged son what ensues is a theatrical game, part farce and part romance. Is reality an illusion or simple matter of perception? Obsession, murder, passion, and love mingle with fantasy and transcendence of time and place in this version of L'Illusion Comique.
