Description

The Brothers Booth is, in brief, an exhilarating work, a dazzling intersection of Literature, Philosophy, History, Psychology, Drama, even Theology. It is that rarest of offerings: a play that rewards both the individual reader and the theater-goer with great delight, insight, and intellectual intensity. The product of meticulous research and composition, The Brothers Booth can keep the concentrated attention o the most advanced scholar, as well as the momentary attention of a matriculating teen wishing to be entertained while being educated. The serious critic can investigate the language of The Brothers Booth again and again, while the individual reader, or the theatre-goer, can visit The Brothers Booth for a simply great story. Indeed, here is, quite simply, one of the greatest stories of all time, told in an unforgettable way; indeed, as an ensemble play in blank verse, perhaps the best way to suit this endlessly fascinating story's many intrigues. Published here with annotations to the text, and a long bibliography, there is something in, and around, The Brothers Booth for everyone.
