ABOUT A WRINKLE IN TIME
"A Wrinkle in Time" follows Meg Murry, a young girl struggling with her father's disappearance, as she embarks on a journey through time and space with her brother Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin O'Keefe. Guided by mysterious figures called Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, they seek to rescue her father, a scientist working on a secret project involving tesseracts (a wrinkle in time and space). They encounter a powerful, evil force called IT on the planet Camazotz and must confront it to save not only her father but also the universe. The play explores themes of love, good vs. evil, and the power of individuality.
