The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
Book-It brings David Wroblewski’s The Story of Edgar Sawtelle alive on stage at Seattle’s Broadway Performance Hall September 27 — October 12, 2025.
Developed by Book-It as part of its 2020 season but cancelled due to the pandemic, Sawtelle was produced last fall by Vashon Repertory Theatre. The revamped production now makes its Seattle debut. Sawtelle, a sprawling novel with epic Shakespearean themes, is the story of a young man who lacks the ability to speak, but communicates with the dogs his family breeds on a kennel in the rural Midwest in the early 1970’s. The story explores the deep connection Edgar has with his beloved Sawtelle dogs, and weaves in a plot of sacrifice, betrayal, and ultimately murder. Jane Jones, Book-It Artistic Director, directs a nine-person cast of prominent Seattle actors.
More details will follow soon!
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is scheduled to run September 27- October 12, 2025 at The Broadway Performance Hall on Capitol Hill.
