"Flowers for Algernon"

Emotional Sci-Fi Drama "Flowers for Algernon" on Stage

For many, Daniel Keyes' "Flowers for Algernon" was a memorable part of their school education. This bittersweet tale packs a powerful emotional punch, leaving a strong impression on young and adult readers alike. Science has discovered a remedy for mental disabilities that has proven to work flawlessly on laboratory mice. This treatment is believed to be ready for human experimentation, so Charlie Gordon is "volunteered." After the surgery, he blossoms for the first time in his life, but struggles with his attempts to assimilate into a "normal" life, not anticipating the beauty and pain of adult thought processes and emotions. Come see this compelling drama live on stage at the Camarillo Skyway Playhouse.
