Huck Finn's Story - the escape from his drunken father, his befriending a runaway slave - is an adventure tale of excitement and suspense, delightfully sprinkled with homespun humor. Alive with colorful characters and sparkling rural dialogue, the play reveals Huck, a clever, lovable boy, who is baffled by the racism, greed and hypocrisy of society. His conscience troubles him about what is wrong and what is right during his long journey down the Mississippi, a journey in which he "grows up." Keeping faithfully to the book, playwright Aurand Harris wrote a great American play about the great American novel that both youth and adult audiences will enjoy.
