The first of these plays, The Persistence of Memory, premiered during a short, successful run at a historic St. Louis area theatre in May 1992.

For the first time, The Persistence of Memory, The Truth of Glances, and Song of My Childhood are presented here in print, updated and revised by the author, including production photographs from the 1992 run of The Persistence of Memory at the Historic Miner's Institute Theatre. This edition also includes prefaces written by the lead actors of the original cast for The Persistence of Memory and a new Introduction by the playwright reflecting on the creative genesis and literary influences of the plays, challenges and opportunities during the 1992 production, and the rationale for specific revisions and updates to the plays some twenty years later.
