Joe Saul, a veteran circus performer, is slowly being destroyed by the realization that he will die without having fathered a child. In an act of extraordinary sacrifice and compassion, his wife, Mordeen, takes desperate measures to save him. John Steinbeck's classic play is brilliantly acted by a fantastic cast, led by four-time Emmy winner Colleen Dewhurst (A Moon for the Misbegotten, Murphy Brown) and Tony winner Myron McCormick (South Pacific). Features music by Tony-winner Will Holt.
