Resurrection Theatre will present THE RIMERS OF ELDRITCH by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson, running October 31 through November 22, 2025 at the California Stage Complex in Sacramento. Directed by Aerin Morneau-Salls, the production brings Wilson’s poetic, non-linear drama to the stage in a limited engagement.
Set in a decaying small town in the American Midwest, the play unravels the mystery of a murder in Eldritch, Missouri. Voices overlap, timelines blur, and shifting perspectives reveal how gossip, faith, prejudice, and silence converge in a community on the brink.
Morneau-Salls directs a staging that emphasizes memory, perception, and complicity, noting: “Lanford Wilson’s play gives us a mirror to the darker corners of community life. We are inviting audiences to question how stories are told, whose voices are silenced, and how our collective choices echo across time.”
