Adapted and directed by Goodman Manilow Resident Director and Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman, the highly-acclaimed Mirror of the Invisible World will take place in the Albert Theatre June 16– July 22, 2007.

"I'm delighted to welcome the breathtaking Mirror of the Invisible World to the Goodman's Albert stage," stated Falls. "My anniversary season at the Goodman would not be complete without Mary's phenomenal vision, and this revisit is yet another wonderful way to celebrate the unprecedented history and prestige of our artistic collective."

Adapted from a great 12th century Persian epic, Mirror of the Invisible World "tells the story of a young King, who, after falling in love with seven princesses, each from a different land, builds seven pavilions to house his beautiful brides. Each night, a different princess weaves for him another wondrous tale of love, loss and adventure."

The work was praised for its rich theatricality when first produced in the Goodman Studio.
