Workman Arts presents:
Edward the Crazy Man
Written by Emil Shir
Based on the award-winning children's book by Marie Day
Directed by Leah Cherniak
Starring John Cleland, Lyon Smith, Victoria Danyluk, Charles Revoured
Edward might look different in his strange clothing made from other people’s garbage, but 12-year-old Charlie learns that he is a real person with a family past, with abilities and problems, and with the capacity to care for others. Edward The Crazy Man addresses difficult, yet important, issues relating to mental heath, discrimination and difference in very accessible ways. Recommended for children aged 9 and up, the central message of tolerance and respect for fellow human beings is beautifully brought to life by the talented ensemble.
