Hotel Cassiopeia

The American artist Joseph Cornell made boxes filled with pocket watches, coiled springs, maps of the stars, a forest of thimbles, parrots, seashells, broken glass, children's alphabet blocks, brightly colored balls, soap bubbles, whales' teeth, a colored lithograph of the moon in the night sky, star fish. This piece, written by Charles L. Mee is a sustained peek into the irrational, miniature, and magical world of Joseph Cornell. It premiered at the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville in 2006.
