Carson McCullers' classic novel is adapted for the stage by acclaimed
playwright Rebecca Gilman (Spinning Into Butter) and directed by Doug
Hughes (The Beard of Avon at NYTW, Doubt). The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
is a beautiful and timeless tale about the universal need for human
connection. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter follows the story of deaf John
Singer as he navigates the world without his dearest friend who has
been committed to an insane asylum. When Singer moves to a small
Southern town, the locals flock to him as a newfound confidant, seeking
compassion and understanding from the one person who needs it the most.
Singer's isolation in the world is mirrored in a few of the townspeople
he meets along the way - a café owner, a rebellious teenager, a black
physician, and an idealistic labor organizer whose dreams have been
shattered. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter intertwines the lives
of these characters in a surprising way that results in a deeply moving
story of outcasts in the South during the Great Depression.
