Henninger High School’s drama club will present “A Wrinkle In Time,” by Madeleine L’Engle, adapted by Morgan Gould, this Friday, Dec. 8 and Saturday, Dec. 9.
One of literature’s most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, is back -- braces, stubbornness, and all. Once again, she’s joining forces with Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who, Charles Wallace, Calvin O’Keefe and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity, and find herself. In the end, we know two things for sure: 1. Love CAN overcome evil and 2. There IS such a thing as a tesseract. This one-act adaptation of the beloved novel masterfully retells the story in a fresh and enduring way.
