The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Elliott Bay's Drama Book Group, Stages, meets once a month to read, enjoy and discuss great plays and dramatic works, contemporary and classic, from the U.S. and around the world. Our selection for September is Peter Parnell's play adaptation of The Cider House Rules by John Irving (Parts 1 and 2) in conjunction with the local anniversary production at Book-It Repertory. Spanning eight decades of American life, it tells the story of Dr. Wilbur Larch, founder of the St. Cloud's, Maine orphanage and hospital, and of the complex father-son relationship he develops with the young orphan Homer Wells. Homer's growth into adulthood begins first at St. Cloud's, and then out in the wide world, where he learns about life and love, and must ultimately decide whether to return to St. Cloud's and fulfill the destiny his "father" has always believed in for him. Whether you've seen the productions at Book-It, enjoyed the Irving novel, seen the Michael Caine movie, or read the playscripts, please join us for this lively discussion!
