What happens when an adulterous ghost and jealous husband come face-to-face? Find out in this avant-garde play by Polish artist Stanisław Witkiewicz. First produced in 1923, this drama challenged the rules of psychological realism audiences expected to be followed. What we get is a unique world where comedy mixes with murder and the line between life and death is not so clear.

A small-town Indiana girl's grief over her father's death leads her to pray for a healer so no one will ever suffer again. The next thing she knows, there’s a tornado and a man in a hot air balloon blows into town claiming to be a doctor.  At first, she thinks her prayer is answered, until a mysterious plague begins to spread.   Set in Indiana during the late 1800's, Anatomy of Gray deals with death, loss, love, and healing in a unique coming of age story.
