Theatre Roanoke College will present Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Lanford Wilson’s The Rimers of Eldritch, November 12,13,19,20 at 8:00 p.m. and November 14 at 3:00 p.m. in Olin Hall Theatre. One of America’s best and prolific playwrights, Wilson wrote The Rimers of Eldritch in the mid-1960s, a time of great social change and artistic experimentation.

A man has been murdered, and the audience must solve the mystery of why and under what circumstances. The play’s cinematic structure creates a portrait of small town America which is decaying both physically and morally. Only a few of the townspeople are able to escape the harshness of this world through their hopes and dreams.

The play is suitable for high school age and up. For more information, contact the Olin Hall Box Office at 375-2333. Tickets are $5/$7 and free to Roanoke College students and staff.
