Bewilderness

By Zack Fine Directed by Zack Fine

a Thoreau-ly absurd night on Walden Pond

A struggling playwright bends time and space as two philosophers, one brother, and a few other surprising characters converge upon Henry David Thoreau's cabin for a zany evening that promises to be as unexpected as it is delightful.

AGE RECOMMENDATION

Due to some coarse language, we recommend this production to audiences 15 years old and older.

Run Time

85 minutes. No intermission.
