About this book

One of literature's most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, is back--braces, stubbornness and all. Once again, she's joining forces with Mrs. Whatsit, Charles Wallace, Calvin O'Keefe and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity and find herself. In the end, we know two things for sure: 1. Love CAN overcome evil and 2. There IS such a thing as a tesseract.Recommended for professional theaters, colleges, advanced actors. Originally produced at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland, Oregon. Featuring a fresh framing device, this devised theater adaptation (featuring a flexible ensemble of 13) is tailor-made for adventurous professional theaters or colleges that want to imagine this classic tale with a new spin. Perfect for ensembles who want to collaborate, advanced student actors, or groups who want to tell this story in an unexpected way.
