    I loved this play
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016*

This play by the authors of 'Inherit the Wind' tells the little known episode of Thoreau's brief stay in jail for refusing to pay taxes to support the US war against Mexico. While in jail, Thoreau reminisces with a cellmate about various times in his life, which are played out on the stage around them. Included are his first meeting and subsequent friendship with Ralph Waldo Emerson, the school that he started with his brother to teach children to think and not just remember facts, and his decision to build a cabin on Walden Pond and live 'deliberately' in harmony with nature. The set is simple and easy to build, there are roles for men and women of varying ages, and many of Thoreau's beliefs and concerns are relevant to our lives today.

I actually really enjoyed this, which is the first time I can say that about a book I've read for school. This was really good. SO many quotable lines.
