Dreamers of the Day

An original play based on the novel by Mary Doria Russell, adapted for the stage and directed by Jessica Ammirati

Egypt, 1921 – Lawrence of Arabia. Winston Churchill. Woodrow Wilson…and Agnes Shanklin?

On the eve of the Cairo Peace Conference, a lonely American heiress finds herself the confidant of diplomats and the target of the attentions of a possible German spy.

Part travelogue, part journey of self-discovery, Kirkus Reviews calls the novel “an inspired fictional study of political folly.”

Dreamers of the Day ran from September 16 – October 2, 2010 at The Roy Arias Theatre Center. It featured Rhonda Harrington, Kiwi Callahan, David Eiduks, Adam Jonas Segaller, and Maria Silverman
