    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.
