The Long Christmas Ride Home

By Paula Vogel

Paperback £12.99

There is limited availability of this title. Please enquire before placing your order.

A moving and memorable study of the American family, conceived as 'a puppet play with actors', from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright.

Past and present collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life.

The Long Christmas Ride Home combines elements of Nó theatre and Bunraku with contemporary Western sensibilities to forge a mesmerizing homage to the works of Thornton Wilder, especially his Our Town.
