Bang The Drum Slowly
by Eric Simonson, Mark Harris

"Eric Simonson's beautifully imagined adaptation of Mark Harris' novel is in many ways the stage equivalent of a lusciously layered and moving work of prose literature, a marvel of simplicity in the depth of its feeling, while at the same time a profound reverie on the losing human contest against mortality…confronts death with complexity, never settling for easy sentiment, and is all the more stirring as a result.“ —Chicago Tribune. ”There's no denying the humor and power of the work, nor the audience's three-hankie response…a fascinating textural portrait of our national image."
