mutation spawns a chain reaction of identity crises, forcing the
dinosaurs to question the very facts of life they've held as
truth.TRIASSIC PARQ is an unflinching musical meditation on
science, faith and love. Like all great tales laden with import,
it is narrated by Morgan Freeman. WINNER - BEST MUSICAL FRINGE
