"Kimberly Akimbo is already the rare example of a good play that has become an even better musical." --New York Times A playful and powerful musicalization of Lindsay-Abaire's beloved play about a young girl forced to grow up too fast. Kimberly Akimbo tells the story of a young girl suffering from a rare disease that causes her to age four times faster than her high school peers. Surrounded by a deeply neurotic and dysfunctional family, Kimberly must also emotionally age at an accelerated rate. When she meets fellow misfit Seth, the two form an unlikely bond in the midst of social alienation. Written with composer Jeanine Tesori, Lindsay-Abaire's musical adaptation of his beloved play retains the original's quirky charm while deepening its emotional resonance.

In this allegorical classic of 1922, Isbel Loment is young, attractive and wealthy, and engaged to a most suitable man. Yet she is listless and vaguely unsatisfied. A visit to an old house leads to a chance discovery of a secret room that apparently only she and the house's owner can access. They meet and talk, of matters of apparently little consequence; afterwards they can remember nothing of the experience, but are left with a sense of unease. This may sound a slight premise on which to build a novel - but this book shimmers with atmosphere and a sense of oddness that draws readers in and keeps them hooked right to the unsettling end.
