Description: Drama. Adapted by Eric Coble from the Newbery Award-winning book by Lois Lowry. Cast: 4m., 4w., extras as desired or 4m., 2w. with doubling, extras as desired. Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control and safe. There is no war or fear or pain. There are also no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. But when Jonas turns 12, he is chosen for special training from The Giver—to receive and keep the memories of the community. The Giver is the only person who holds the memories of real pain and real joy. Now Jonas will learn the truth about life—and the hypocrisy of his utopian world. Through this astonishing and moving adaptation, discover what it means to grow up, to grow wise, and to take control of your own destiny. The Giver was commissioned by Oregon Children's Theatre and has played to sold-out audiences at such theatres as Oregon Children's Theatre, First Stage Milwaukee, The Coterie Theatre, People's Light and Theatre Company, Dallas Children's Theater, Stages Repertory, Nashville Children's Theatre, Lexington Children's Theatre, Asolo Repertory Theatre, Florida Repertory Theatre, and Indiana Repertory Theatre.

Rated it: it was amazing Shelves: own-a-physical-copy I'm taking part in a production of this! 'The Giver' is one of my all time favorite books, and I think this is a great translation of it. If I'd written it (Welp lol) I may have written some of the final scenes slightly differently, but there's nothing wrong here! And I like the fluidness of the scenes. 5/5 stars! 3 likes View 1 comment
