About the Play:
This play reflects the ups and downs of Gibran’s life as an immigrant poet/painter in America. It’s the story of his struggle to deliver a message of love and peace to his fellow human beings, as he did in ‘The Prophet’; it’s the story of those who loved him and tried to help him – people like his rebellious sister Miryanna, his guardian angel, Mary, his eccentric mentor, Fred – and those who tried to thwart and destroy him – his businessman neighbor, Marzoo, and his secret lover, Annie. The troubles and cruelties of his daily life led him to seek the highest level of spirituality. THE CAST (NYC)
