The Lost Boy tells the compelling story of a well-known author, who in the shadow of his own international writing success, confronts his haunted past, his brother's untimely death, a family that has scorned him, and his own dissatisfaction with the illusions of fame and fortune.
The play originally premiered Oct. 28, 2005 at the
Helen Hayes Theater Company in Nyack, NY.
