Adapted for the stage by Louis Sachar.
Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boysÕ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys Òbuild characterÓ by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesnÕt take long for Stanley to realize thereÕs more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment--and redemption.
