The Avon High School Drama Club will present Flowers for Algernon this month.
The play is a live adaptation of the 1958 short story by Daniel Keyes. Flowers for Algernon follows Charlie Gordon, a man with an IQ of only 68 as he undergoes an experimental treatment to increase his intelligence, through his journal entries. During experimentation Gordon forms a bond with a lab mouse named Algernon who underwent the same treatments to increase his intelligence. As he observes Algernon's new-found intelligence quickly fade, Gordon faces the reality that things would inevitably revert to the way they were before.
The play will run Nov. 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $7.00 at the door and $5.00 for students and seniors.
