Book by Gregory Prest
Music & Lyrics by Landon Doak
Adapted from John Wyndham’s beloved 1955 novel, The Chrysalids follows a group of remarkable teenagers in a post-apocalyptic Labrador who are forbidden from sharing the extraordinary gifts that bind them together. This story reflects a society much like our own, on the precipice of a tipping point, where all markers of difference (an extra toe, or the ability to communicate telepathically with your friends, for example) are grounds for total banishment from normal society, and often worse. Forced to keep their truest identities a secret, a young generation wrestles with questions about their value, their purpose, and their ideas of the future. The Chrysalids is a gripping story of hope, defiance, and the search for community.
