The Mound Builders by Lanford Wilson, Guest Director, Susanna Burney

In the mid 1970’s, a team of archaeologists descends on an Illinois lake to unearth the vestiges of The Mound Builders, a lost Native American civilization before the site is flooded as part of a dam project. As they excavate they confront powerful and dangerous forces of ambition, greed and legacy. Interweaving past and present, the action of the play probes into the lives, and violent conflicts of this disparate group. Lanford Wilson’s searing drama of class, culture and gender clash won the 1975 Obie Award for Distinguished Playwriting.
