SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY
Published by the MacMillan Company
Directed by Mr. Michael Foor-Pessin
Tonight you will experience a small, somber sampling from one of the great American literary works, Spoon River Anthology (1915) by Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950). Presented in an impressive array of 243 free verse epitaphs, Spoon River Anthology is the story of an imaginary Midwestern town whose "true" stories are confessed from the grave by citizens who can finally speak honestly about their lives and their community. Listen to the revealing voices of fifteen Spoon River Folks. Introducing the citizens buried in the town's cemetery on the hill is an all-knowing voice, known as "The Hill," who laments the Ubi sunt (Latin for "where are") of the past and sets the mood of stark remembrances.
