ABOUT
THE INFINITE TALES
Adapted and directed by Gregory Keng Strasser
Cold salt water.
The clamor of thunder. Or is it a war drum?
And what of their father? Is he well?
It's been centuries.
Forced from their homeland and cursed to live life as swans for 900 years, four children face insurmountable odds of storms, wars, and the encroaching menace of time as they cling to the hope that one day they shall return to their home. But as their landscape shifts and their tribe disappears, they face a new obstacle: where will they go? THE INFINITE TALES is an adaptation of several Irish myths that traverses space and time, painting the diaspora in new light. 4615 Producing Director Gregory Keng Strasser (410GONE, The Odyssey), makes his debut with the company as both director and playwright.
