A Conversation with Mac Wellman and David Lang.
All theatre patrons are invited to attend this intimate pre-performance talk with the creators of The Difficulty of Crossing a Field. Refreshments will be served.
The University of Texas Department of Theatre and Dance presents THE DIFFICULTY OF CROSSING A FIELD, an inventive blend of opera and theatre from Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer, David Lang, and winner of the Obie Lifetime Achievement Award playwright, Mac Wellman, April 23 – May 2, 2010, at the B. Iden Payne Theatre.
Based on Ambrose Bierce’s 500-word story of the same name, THE DIFFICULTY OF CROSSING A FIELD recounts the mysterious disappearance of a wealthy Alabama planter and slave owner, (Mr. Williamson), who drops from sight one sunny afternoon in the brief moment that his assembled friends, family, and slaves turn away. Because Williamson has no male heir and has left no will, a court must decide his fate in order to divide his estate.
