Overview

Twenty years later, the author revisited and updated these plays so they could be discovered by a new generation of readers and patrons of the theatre in The Persistence of Memory and Other Plays. This large-text format edition of The Persistence of Memory including character studies and a playwright's commentary is specifically designed for actors, directors, and theatre companies.
