The Boys from Siam - Yale Drama Series

Synopsis

John Connolly's "The Boys from Siam" has been chosen as the first winner of the "Yale Drama Series". This play was selected by contest judge, Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Edward Albee. Based loosely on the lives of Chang and Eng Bunker, the nineteenth-century brothers and source of the term 'Siamese twins', "The Boys from Siam" is the haunting and lyrical story of conjoined twins Pigg and Pegg. Edward Albee in his foreword writes that the work is "a beautifully realized concentrated universe. It takes big chances along the way...and makes us care - really care."
