Synopsis: On September 11, 2001, when Molly Fitzgerald was two months old, her mother went to a doctor’s appointment at the World Trade Center and never came home. Now an adult, she runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency Preparedness and Response - readying for disasters and trying to mitigate damage when they occur. She and her husband Jesse (from My Sister’s Keeper) - a polygraph expert for the Providence police - are navigating their first pregnancy, juggling their excitement with the knowledge of how dangerous the world can be. But then an unexpected moment upends everything, leading Molly to question everything she thought she knew, who she truly is, and whether some disasters are more devastating than others. Moving between present day America and a country reeling in 2001, HOLLOW BONES spotlights the relationships between parents and children, the shocking failures of women’s health care, and the lies we tell ourselves as we write the narratives of our lives.
The Book Thief is told by Death.
They are haunted by humans, cataloguing the colour of the sky at the precise moment they carry each soul away.
Tonight’s story belongs to Liesel Meminger, twelve years old and unafraid to take what matters: the red of a book found in the snow, the black of a novel rescued from a bonfire, the white of empty pages she will fill with her own defiant words.
Down in a cellar painted in shadows, she reads to Max, a Jewish fist-fighter hidden by her foster family, and together they imagine a world lit by language. Above, Hans plays the accordion with fingers stained by tobacco and time, Rosa hurls curses wrapped in warmth, and Rudy runs beside Liesel, chasing a kiss that history won’t allow.
With a libretto by bestselling author Jodi Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald, and a soaring score by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson, The Book Thief transforms Markus Zusak’s modern classic in “the perfect page to stage adaptation” (Theatre and Tonic ★★★★★), “a creative and theatrical adaptation of a powerful story” (British Theatre Guide), and “a show that will steal your heart” (WhatsOnStage ★★★★★).
