One of the great unrealized theatrical productions of the twentieth century, ROBERT WILSON AND THE CIVIL WARS would have been the avant-garde artist’s magnum opus. Directed by Howard Brookner, the film follows Wilson, composers Philip Glass and David Byrne, and several production troupes as they seek to perfect an epic that encompasses the Civil War, Frederick the Great, and the unification of Italy; and imagery from Frank L. Baum, Jules Verne, and Mathew Brady.
