Lost in the Stars

Created in 1949 by famed American playwright Maxwell Anderson and musical icon Kurt Weill, this adaptation of Alan Paton’s novel of South Africa, Cry, the Beloved Country, won instant acclaim: "Here the theatre has come bearing its most memorable gifts: eloquent, deep, dramatic, and beautiful" (The New York Times). Now the Virginia Arts Festival and its partners create a new landmark staging of this musical theater classic, starring internationally acclaimed, Herbert Perry and Hampton Roads native, Larry J. Giddens.
