Yet, David never knew his father who was murdered by a mob before he was born. Raised by his powerful mother, Emma Smith, David must chart a new spiritual course as his brother Joseph III distances their family from Brigham Young\u2019s version of Mormonism in Utah, while still seeking to honor their father\u2019s place in the Restorationist movement. David\u2019s search for the truth, however, brings him on a path full of peril, as he seeks deeper and deeper into his family\u2019s past.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>CAST SIZE: 15 with performers playing multiple roles (6 women, 9 men)\n<ul>\n<li><b>David Hyrum Smith<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Emma Hale Smith<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Joseph Smith III<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Clara Hartshorn<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Julia Murdock Smith<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Joseph F.

This piece is so powerful and beautifully written it demands competent actors to match the material. These talented and sensitive actors are up to task and are superb . . . I am appreciative of Stewart\u2019s courage in writing this bold, candid, historically authentic work honoring Emma Hale Smith. The play is an important historical achievement.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 <strong>Nan McCulloch<\/strong>, AML-List<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPoignant and tragic.\u201d<\/em> \u2014<strong>David Allred<\/strong>, Association for Mormon Letters<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2028\u201c. . . looking at the issue through the lens of David becomes a powerful and uniquely Mormon reflection on the peril and promise of living in such close proximity to our historical legends. Of course, with such a controversial and painful topic at the heart of the play, Stewart could easily have veered into advocating a particular conclusion or lesson, but the play remains too sensitive and nuanced to be reduced to simple morals . . . it only succeeds in so accurately reflecting a Mormon sensibility by having the main characters all view Mormonism (as we know it today) from the outside . . . Stewart succeeds in capturing the historical Mormon sense of longing and exile even in a play about our own history.\u201d<\/em>\u2014 <strong>Nathaniel Givens<\/strong>, Times and Seasons<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m drawn to works like The Fading Flower that uncover previously untold stories from Mormon history. I think Mormon literature needs works that probe these unseen corners of the Mormon past, works that try . . . to get at the truth behind the mysteries and obscurities or go mad in the attempt.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 <strong>Scott Hales<\/strong>, The Low-Tech World<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A copy of the <strong>PERUSAL SCRIPT<\/strong> (in PDF format) which contains Act One of the script of the play is available:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fading-Flower-PERUSAL-2118.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"66\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The PRINT VERSION of <strong>The Fading Flower <\/strong>is published by PROSPERO ARTS AND MEDIA and is available on Amazon\u2028 A great way to peruse the entire script for <strong>$12.00 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1654374687\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PRODUCTION\/REHEARSAL MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>(Any PDF purchased will be emailed to your email address &#8212; if you need to provide that to us (not the one on your PayPal account?), <a href=\"mailto:\/\/cmichaelperry53@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>email us.<\/strong><\/a> CDs will be mailed to a snail mail address.
