The Journey to the West

Journey to the West
By Mary Zimmerman
Directed By Peter Anthony

Fantasy and humor underscore a brazenly imaginative, soaring adventure, which follows the journey of Buddhist monk, Tripitaka, and his boisterous band of heavenly exiles, as they traverse a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters in search of sacred scrolls that hold the keys to immortality. Based on true accounts recorded in the classic 16th century Chinese novel, the pilgrims endure eighty-one ordeals, both human and mystical in nature, in order to bring enlightenment to the world and, ultimately, themselves.
