Overview

One of the most significant literary works of the 1920s and 30s and the basis for the 1948 Academy Award-winning movie directed by John Huston with Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston that ranks as one of the best films of all time, The Treasure of Sierra Madre comes to the stage as a powerful folktale with metaphysical underpinnings. Three men, led by an old miner-philosopher, find gold in the mean and stormy terrain of the Sierra Madre mountains. Greed leads to gunplay and theft, the mine caves in and the gold is swept away by a windstorm. This version of the classic tale is sure to delight audiences with a swashbuckling tale that pits human nature against natural forces.
