About the Play Twenty Seven

Twenty Seven, based on William Faulkner’s Old Man, tells the story of a convict who rescues a young pregnant woman clinging to a tree during the flood of 1927. Man and nature conspire against the pair to make the following seven weeks a harrowing and sometimes humorous adventure down the Mississippi River.
