G. Wood and Carson McCullers’s 'F. Jasmine Addams' arrived Off-Broadway at the historic Theatre de Lys in 1971 as a highly sophisticated, deeply moving musical drama that masterfully adapted McCullers’s classic novel and play *The Member of the Wedding*. Set in a sweltering town in the American South during World War II, the poignant narrative follows Frankie Addams, a lonely, fiercely imaginative twelve-year-old tomboy who feels completely disconnected from the world, obsessively plotting to escape her provincial life by joining her older brother on his honeymoon. Directed by Theodore Mann and starring an elite early cast, the production preserves an essential milestone of post-war Off-Broadway.
