When L'Engle began pitching A Wrinkle In Time to publishers under the working title Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, they were unimpressed. Editor after editor declined the opportunity to print the novel that would go on to become a powerhouse of popularity. L'Engle refused to significantly alter the book just to see it in public (one editor suggested she cut it in half!), and she was right to remain so steadfast. John C. Farrar of Farrar, Straus and Giroux agreed to publish it in 1962, and it was an instant hit. Persistence pays off! Did you know A Wrinkle in Time is the first of a quintet of books? The series includes A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters and An Acceptable Time. Beyond that, L'Engle authored more than 60 books. Among them: The Love Letters, A Circle of Quiet, The Arm of the Starfish and A Severed Wasp. Goshen Players is proud to present A Wrinkle in Time, adapted for the stage by James Sie, from the Newbery Medal award-winning novel by former Goshen resident and Goshen Player, Madeleine L'Engle. A Wrinkle in Time will be performed June 3rd - June 12th, and it tells the story of one of literature's most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry. She is joined by her brother Charles Wallace, friend Calvin O'Keefe, and the celestial beings Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, to battle the forces of evil in order to rescue her father. Along the way she will save humanity, prove that love conquers all, and discover herself. A tall order for a young girl. First published in 1962, we're excited to present Ms. L'Engle's story in its 60th anniversary year. A Wrinkle in Time is magical tale of hope and love that the whole family will enjoy.
