Synopsis "The Persistence of Memory and Other Plays"
Always, the past endures... Twenty years ago, Mark David Major (author of Everyday Objects: Collected Poems, 1987-2012) wrote three plays in a burst of creative activity over a three-year period. The first of these plays, The Persistence of Memory, premiered during a short, successful run at a historic St. Louis area theatre in May 1992. Since then, these plays have been waiting to be revisited by the author and discovered by a new generation of readers and patrons of the theatre. For the first time, The Persistence of Memory, The Truth of Glances, and Song of My Childhood are presented together in large print format, updated and revised by the author with Preludes by the original cast leads, Tena L. Griffin and Rory S. Beelek, production photographs from the 1992 run of The Persistence of Memory at the Historic Miner's Institute Theatre, and playwright's commentary and character studies.
