Synopsis

Darkside: A play [paperback] Jones, Ken [Jan 01, 1989]

Press Reviews

"Spellbinding... The play has it all soul, suspense, symbolism and surprises. Add to that medley a dash of humor and a speck of irony."
— Denver Register

"The moon is more than a place for the misbegotten. It's a godless wilderness where hopes, dreams, fears and frustrations are easily cauterized; where love and death coexist in zero gravity. Yet it is also a perfect allegorical backdrop for human frailties, especially the loneliness of the long-distance heroes."
— Rocky Mountain News

"Stars twinkle all around and the big blue marble of earth eerily arises in this haunting new play."
— Time Magazine
