The Illusion
Pay-What-You-Can May 24 - 25
Desperate to reach his long-lost son, an aging father turns to a
sorcerer for insight. As the sorcerer conjures three episodes from the
young man’s life, his father is led deep into a maze of romance,
intrigue, conspiracy, and murder. But just how much of it is true? In
his witty and passionate adaptation of Corneille’s seventeenth -century
classic L’illusion comique, Tony Kushner weaves illusion with
truth – and theater with real life.
