Commonweal Theatre Company Presents ‘Ghost-Writer’
Published 4:27 pm Sunday, August 20, 2017
LANESBORO — The Commonweal Theatre Company has announced its fall production of “Ghost-Writer “ by Michael Hollinger, opening Sept. 9 and playing through Nov. 12.
“Ghost-Writer “ has been hailed by The Philadelphia Enquirer as a “tantalizing, understated and lovely “ romance about the power of the written word and the wonder of creativity.
The play focuses on the relationship between famous novelist Franklin Woolsey and his secretary Myra. After Franklin dies in the middle of dictating his next novel, Myra continues to write the novel.
The question becomes whether Myra is stealing Franklin’s legacy or might she possess a gift the world cannot understand. Add a jealous widow into the mix and the result is a romance meets mystery meets ghost story triangle
