Description
The Illusion by Tony Kushner and Pierre Corneille is a freely adapted version of Corneille's 17th-century play L'Illusion Comique. Kushner has stripped away the ornamentation to reveal an ageless and universal tale that remains remarkably relevant today.
In this adaptation, a rigid father searches for the magician Aleandre in hopes of finding out what happened to his wayward son. The journey is filled with twists, turns, and comedic moments as the truth is slowly revealed. Ultimately, the father discovers that he doesn't like the truth, leading to a light-hearted yet cynical lesson in selective affection.
The Illusion explores themes of fantasy, witchcraft, and transcended place and time, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in theatre and its power to transport us to new worlds.
