Between light and shadow, science and superstition, fear and
knowledge is a dimension of imagination. An area we call the
Twilight Zone. Adapted by Anne Washburn (Mr Burns) and directed by
Olivier Award-winner Richard Jones, this world premiere production
of the acclaimed CBS Television Series The Twilight Zone lands on
stage for the first time in its history. Or its present. Or its
future. Stage magic and fantasy unite as the ordinary becomes
extraordinary.

The Season To Be wary is unique in that it is one of the first
examples of Rod Serling publishing stories he created first in
narrative form. This collection of three novellas provides poignant
insights into the human condition with all its' moral and ethical
dilemmas. Of the three, Escape Route and Eyes were included in the
pilot for The Night Gallery, with the latter starring Joan Crawford
and directed by new comer, Steven Spielberg. Darkly disturbing,
these stories remain relevant today.
The Night Gallery is one of three books written by Rod Serling
based on stories he created for the 1970 television series by the
same name. Similar to his Stories From The Twilight Zone books, he
novelized six of the show's scripts for this volume, including
They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar, which was nominated for an
Emmy award. Although he didn't have the creative control he had
with The Twilight Zone stories, these are every bit as poignant.

Rod Serling became a cultural icon of the 20th Century with his
creation 'The Twilight Zone, ' which more than 50 years later was
nominated by the Writers Guild of America as the third best written
television series of the past seventy years. Of the 156 Twilight
Zone episodes, Serling wrote 92. In the early 1960s, Rod Serling,
novelized nineteen (19) of his scripts and published them in three
volumes - this is the third. In this volume, you will read about a
con man inflicted with the necessity to tell the truth; the moral
and ethical conflict of having to refuse your neighbor and their
children a safe haven; a phoney braggart thrown into the midst of
the reality of his pretensions; a drunken Santa Claus who
understood the real meaning of Christmas; the desperation and
futility of escaping from the end of the world; and how a band of
thieves, despite a perfect plan of escape, succumbs to retributive
justice through their own hands.

magic, a little boy, and his hero, a boxer at the end of his rope;
an over-worked executive seeking solace in a place where he can
"live his life full measure;" an airplane journey back in time; and
a story of love, hate, magic and forgiveness.

panic of a man with no memory finding himself alone in an empty
town; and the destructive combination of fear and mob mentality.
