Description
"My Ántonia is the story of Jim Burden, a young boy displaced to a Nebraska farm after the death of his parents, and the lasting, loving relationship he builds with Ántonia Shimerda, a girl recently emigrated from Bohemia. Set at the end of the nineteenth century, Jim and Ántonia come of age in an American world of self-made men and women, grueling labor, small towns, and windswept plains. In the tradition of memory plays like The glass menagerie and Dancing at Lughnasa, this fresh new stage adaptation of Willa Cather's most cherished novel evokes Jim Burden's lost past, America's pioneer forebears, and the Bohemian girl who "fires the imagination" with theatrical grace and subtle power"--Rear cover.
