Written by Susan Glaspell
Winner of the 1931 Pulitzer Prize
and presented in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Provincetown Players

When the home of late poet Alison Stanhope is to be sold, some of her heirs will risk the house and those within it to keep secrets it holds from being discovered. Is the life of the poet also part of her work?  Does a poet's voice belong to her family or to the world?  Can a family hold its reputation together by tearing itself apart?

The hopes of the living, the hopes of the departed, and the life of hope itself are all contained in ALISON'S HOUSE.
