BREAKDOWN
Eowyn Ivey’s debut novel The Snow Child, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, is reborn as a magical new musical with a bluegrass-infused score. The 1920 Alaskan wilderness is a brutal place to try to save a marriage. Reeling from the loss of an unborn child, Mabel and Jack struggle to rebuild their lives even as the fissures between them continue to widen. But everything changes suddenly when they are visited by a wild, mysterious girl who embodies the dark woods that surround their cabin. In this beautiful and violent land, things are rarely as they appear, and what the snow child teaches them will ultimately transform them all.
SEEKING:
[ESTHER]
Female, 50s-60s. Creole; bi-racial or light skinned black, or Latin. Tough but tenderhearted, a survivor. A woman of the earth. Married with children. Lives on an isolated homestead in Alaska in the 1920's. She can juggle family, the bitter cold, cooking, farming, and still have time to home brew moonshine on the side. Folky alto.
