The Rimers of Eldritch

This fascinating early work by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lanford Wilson explores the hypocrisy and viciousness lurking beneath the false morality of a small mid-western town. The Rimers of Eldritch centers around a murder trial. As the town’s inhabitants react to the events throwing their world into confusion, they reveal important truths about their lives and move the story toward its chilling conclusion. Written during the intense cultural change of the 1960s, “Rimers” teaches important lessons about intolerance and blind conformity that still resonate powerfully today.
