Part 1 of the Lanford Wilson Project, THE MOUND BUILDERS, is a mystery set around an archeological dig in Southern Illinois, and is filled with characters both funny and exasperating. It looks at themes of ambition, privilege versus aspiration, the dangers of patriarchy, the repression of women, and the tragic results that occur when these issues collide in acts of hubris.
The Lanford Wilson Project is being presented by Open Circle Play Factory. These two plays by Lanford Wilson, THE MOUND BUILDERS and SYMPATHETIC MAGIC, will be performed in repertory over a four-week run.
Lanford Wilson, one of the founders of the Circle Repertory Company and a Pulitzer Prize winner, developed his work within the historic context of the Off-Off Broadway theatre movement. The Lanford Wilson Project is a continuation of that legacy.
