A young soldier with the curious name Alexander “Sander” Klaus returns home from the Civil War forever changed, with wounds on his heart, mind and body. In the immigrant melting pot of boisterous, soot-covered, 1800s New York City he forms relationships and builds a new life. What he can’t explain is why the wartime flashbacks that plague him somehow coincide with the mysterious appearance of children’s toys. 

Told in ingenious rhyming verse by writer-performer Christian Hege, this optimistic play delights and surprises at every turn. An achingly beautiful fairy tale that raises the possibility of transforming pain into joy.

Produced by Christian Hege, Epyllionard.
