Evening Primrose

The people are gone. The doors are locked. Darkness descends inside a department store. Fleeing the pressures of the outside world, an unhappy poet is at last alone. But not quite. In his newfound sanctuary, he comes across a group of hermits who have been hiding there for years. Among them is a young girl with whom he falls in love. Created especially for television, EVENING PRIMROSE aired only once on ABC Stage 67. Starring Anthony Perkins and Charmian Carr, the production featured a teleplay adapted by James Goldman (from a short story by John Collier) and a score that included some of Stephen Sondheims most hauntingly beautiful songs among them "If You Find Me, I'm Here" and "Take Me to the World." This long-lost treasure is now available for the first time ever impeccably restored and re-mastered from a pristine kinescope print.
