Prime Stage’s production of A Wrinkle in Time, adapted from the novel by Madeleine L’Engle, written by Wayne Brinda and Brian Wongchaowart and Directed by Sunny Disney Fitchett runs this weekend through the 2:30pm performance on Sunday the 14th.
“The plot of the story is about a girl’s journey through the wrinkles of time and space to rescue her father from IT and the powers of the Darkness but the heart of the story is about family–Meg, and Charles Wallace, and Calvin, and Mr and Mrs Murry, all real, with flaws and eccentricities and powerful, true love for one another. Although the journey that launches Meg through the universe is compelling, it is her journey of authentic self-discovery that I find most courageous and heroic. And the three Ws–Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which–who guide and protect the children throughout their rescue mission must certainly be three of the strongest, wisest, boldest, quirkiest and most forthright characters ever written. I keep wishing one of these marvelous guardian angels would tumble into my life,” said Sunny Disney Fitchett, Director.
Madeleine L’Engle’s fantastical journey that blends science fiction with family themes and spiritual growth has been re-imagined for our day. Join three youngsters as they experience a riveting adventure through space and time to rescue their father and help Good triumph over Evil.
The post show at the Friday, March 11 performance of Prime Stage Theatre’s A Wrinkle in Time will include a unique opportunity to meet with Charlotte Jones Voiklis, Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter, author of a biography of L’Engle entitled Becoming Madeline.
