This strange fantasy is a startling success on Broadway, where
seats are sold out two months ahead. Read - rather than seen - it
demands the reader's concentrated attention, sensitive awareness to
the overtones and undertones which perfect casting have given the
stage drama. Sure to arouse interest and controversy everywhere.
(Kirkus Reviews)
Characters: 4 or 5 male, 4 or 5 female, plus many small parts

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this is the groundbreaking satiric
fantasy follows the extraordinary Antrobus family down through the
ages from the time of "The War" surviving flood, fire, pestilence,
locusts, the ice age, the pox and the double feature, a dozen
subsequent wars and as many depressions. Ultimately, they are the
stuff of which heroes and buffoons are made. Their survival is a
vividly theatrical testament of faith in humanity.
"Wonderfully wise...A tremendously exciting and profound stage
fable."-Herald Tribune
