The Water Diviner's Tale

The Water Diviner's Tale

**** Royal Albert Hall, London

Another cultural reference, from the California Chronicle...
Former New Haven resident Jim Leonard wrote "The Diviners" almost 30 years ago, but ask him today what the deeper meaning of the play is and he says, "I don't know."

All in the name of Modern Art...
