Long Christmas Ride Home

Title: Long Christmas Ride Home
Author: Vogel, Paula
Price: $21.95

Past and present collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life. Combining the elements of Noh theatre and Bunraku with contemporary Western sensibilities, \"Vogel's Ride\" is a mesmerising homage to the work of Thornton Wilder, especially his \"Our Town\".

Review: \"One of the most absorbing evenings of theatre to come along in some time\" - Variety
