<p class=NoParagraphStyle><i>Huck Finn’s Story</i> – 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
