One of America's best and most prolific playwrights,
two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lanford Wilson wrote The Rimers Of Eldritch
early in his career. In the mid-1960s, America was in the midst of a radical
transformation and the American theatre mirrored this climate of cultural
change. With Rimers, Wilson explores false morality in a small, mid-western
town that leads to murder and innocence lost. The play grasps at the very
fabric of Bible-Belt America, with its catchword morality and capability for
the vicious.
