GIANT BONES

A new play by Stuart Bousel, adapted from stories by Peter S. Beagle

WORLD PREMIERE RUN — SAN FRANCISCO, May 7 through June 19, 2010 at the Exit Theater (156 Eddy Street)


In 1993 Peter S. Beagle published his fourth fantasy novel, The Innkeeper’s Song. In 1997 he returned to the world of that novel with six new stories that were published in America under the title Giant Bones, and everywhere else in the world as The Magician of Karakosk. No one but Peter could have created these extraordinary tales of dangerous magic, absurd bravery, misdirected love, ardent deception, and secret truth...and now acclaimed Bay Area playwright Stuart Bousel has woven them together into a wonderful night of new dramatic theater.

There are only 1500 seats available through the entire run, so don’t hesitate. All shows in the series will likely be sold out before open night.

Please note: To celebrate this premiere event, all regular run attendees will receive a free signed hardcover copy of the new edition of The Magician of Karakosk. (This reissue will not be available for sale to the public until after the play ends its run in June.)

For more information on the production, call 650-728-8098.
