A wealthy lawyer, suddenly and violently aware of his own mortality, visits a sorcerer's cave, hoping to reconnect with his long estranged son. However, the magician conjures up strange and unsettling images, which provide answers that are more than the lawyer bargained for.

 

Tony Kushner’s darkly comedic adaptation of Pierre Corneille’s 17th-century dramatic work explores the concept of reality and questions whether everything is as it seems. Student-directed by Amelia Wade.
