Flowers for Algernon

Adapted by David Rogers. From the classic novel by Daniel Keyes.

Product Code: F28000

One-act Play
Recommended For: Middle School | High School | College Theatre
Cast Size: 4m., 1w. (one of the male roles may be played by a woman.)

Approx. Run Time: 35 min.

This is the approved one-act cutting of the compelling story of Charlie, a mentally retarded man, and the strange interweaving of his life with that of Algernon, a mouse. Experimental surgery has been performed on Algernon increasing his intelligence fourfold. The operation is tried on Charlie, whose intelligence rapidly increases to that of a genius. As Charlie approaches the peak of his brilliance, Algernon shows frightening symptoms of regression. The play becomes a race against time in which Charlie tries to keep his new intelligence long enough to save himself.
