UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, TRANSFORMED INTO BALLET
Beloved for his avant-garde poetry, E. E. Cummings transformed Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin into a ballet, rendering both the hope and devastation of her groundbreaking story into an ethereal dance that exudes rhythm even in its written form. One of four plays published within his lifetime, Tom was not performed for eighty years, first finding its spot on the stage in 2015.
This copy is a first edition, first printing.
