A New Play by

Directed by

England, 1899. The brilliant young American author Stephen Crane, renting a crumbling mansion in Sussex, struggles to make both art and money while battling a life-threatening illness. As Christmas arrives, Crane and his common-law wife host a party that includes a holiday ghost play, offering both respite and the specter of darker events to come.
