MR THOREAU GOES TO BOSTON
Through an anomaly of nature, Henry David Thoreau, the 19th Century writer, philosopher, and Transcendentalist returns to life in the 21st Century. His presence offers sober reflections on today’s world, and his audacious personality and reactions to modern life and technology create a series of hilarious scenes.
Thoreau befriends Jake, Civi, and Catherine and is taken under the wing of Professor and Elizabeth Thornton who become his friends and mentors. But that’s only half the story. When governments, corporations, and greedy individuals from around the world learn that Thoreau holds the secret of “everlasting life” he and his friends are relentlessly pursued to reveal the secret.
Thoreau’s messages of “living simply”, looking to nature for spirituality, and taking the inward journey are as relevant today as they were in his own time. Indeed, they may hold the keys to solving today’s social and environmental challenges.
