Synopsis

Book by Craig Wright

Press Reviews

"Wright has taken a simple premise and invested it with poetry, feeling and a distinctive voice…[He] manages a seamless blend of humor and pathos, philosophy and emotion…The script's greatest strength lies in the genuineness of its feelings.“ —Houston Chronicle. ”THE PAVILION offers a cheery existentialism—asking big questions in an easygoing, casual way…It boasts language that's rich but not dense…It also honors your intellectual and emotional intelligence, eschewing easy answers. Bravo…“ —Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune. ”Wright's perceptive, gently witty writing…makes this familiar situation fresh and thoroughly involving.“ —Philadelphia Inquirer. ”THE PAVILION, a gloriously theatrical treat by Craig Wright, turns the dramas of ordinary lives into the patchwork pattern of the universe."
