In the tradition of An Evening with Mark Twain and other similar productions, the stage show that appears in this release brings American literary giant and Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner (1897-1962) back to life, courtesy of a performance by star John Maxwell as the author. Maxell delivers a series of monologues adapted from Faulkner's personal letters, which provide unusually intimate insights into his life and work. Jimmy Robertson designed the sets, Marilyn Matthews created the costumes, and Jimbo Barnett directs.
