Published by Theatre Communications

"Enough to make even die-hard agnostics believe, at least for an instant, in the mystical powers of drama" ~ Ben Brantley, New York Times

"Brillianteven more ambitious than Vogel's How I Learned to Driveit covers more ground and is bolder in its storytelling. Vogel's language is at its most poetic, eloquent and elegiac. In fact, its vivid imagery rivals the prose style of any great American short story writer. The play sounds like it might have been adapted from a beautiful, undiscovered novella" ~ New Haven Register

"One of the most absorbing evenings of theatre to come along in some time" ~ Variety

Past and present collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life

Combining the elements of Nó theatre and Bunraku with contemporary Western sensibilities, Vogel's The Long Christmas Ride Home is a mesmerizing homage to the works of Thornton Wilder, including Our Town. A moving and memorable study of the American family careening near the edge of oblivion
