Steven Chastain *April19,21 performances 11 April20, and April21 rna tinee DIRECTOR'S NOTES It is with pleasure that we present the World Premiere of Martin Halpern's prize-winning play, NO MOVES BACK, the 1978 selection for the Harold C. Crain National Award in Playwriting. The play makes a profound statement about the miracle of Life and the necessity for Hope. Old age offers a painful confrontation between one's self and one's idealized self. Youth moves so quickly that it often has no time for the measured gait of age. Yet, whether one likes it or not, everyone gets older, the world gets colder, the steps slower and the memory longer. NO MOVES BACK has a considerable amount of symbolism, with its old Wanda , the wandering; Plahto, the philosopher of the fountain; and the foun­tain, itself, the water syndrome : that which is most ·1ecessary for Life and used universally for Baptism, Absolution, as the cradle of Life, the fountain from which Life springs and without which Life cannot exist. Near this fountain, people dream of futures which have no time to come. They play the game of chess, which, like the game of life, offers no moves back.
