Institute History
Description
THE HOUSE OF MIRTH, Edith Wharton’s most popular novel, lends itself naturally to the stage. The story follows the fortunes of a beautiful women at the turn of the 20th Century who is torn between her attraction to the opulent upper reaches of New York society and her innate reluctance to limit herself by marrying into it. Her downfall is marked by events, characters and scenes which seem to beg to be treated musically.—Pete Gurney

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
