Arthur Miller's lyrical, powerful and humorous fable is set during the Great Depression. Everything comes easily to young David Beeves; he seems to get everything his heart desires. But David's good fortune merely serves to heighten the tragedies of those around him, offering evidence of a capricious god or, worse, a godless, arbitrary universe. David's journey toward fulfillment becomes a nightmare of existential doubts, a desperate grasp for reason in a cosmos seemingly devoid of any, and a struggle that will take him to the brink of madness," state production notes.
