Truth Like the Sun

A female Seattle P-I reporter, a bon vivant, corruption and the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. All of these subjects fuel the narrative of Jim Lynch’s 2012 critically-acclaimed novel, Truth Like the Sun. And now it’s re-imagined for the stage at the theater that knows how to translate the written word into a live production: Book-It. The story alternates from the ‘60s to 2001 so expect, perhaps, a nifty Elvis Presley-meets-Visqueen soundtrack?
