 The Mill on the Floss - George Eliot - Penguin Group (USA)
Brought up at Dorlcote Mill, Maggie Tulliver worships her brother Tom and is desperate to win the approval of her parents, but her passionate, wayward nature and her fierce intelligence bring her into constant conflict with her family.
As she reaches adulthood, the clash between their expectations and her desires is painfully played out as she finds herself torn between her relationships with three very different men: her proud and stubborn brother, a close friend who is also the son of her family's worst enemy, and a charismatic but dangerous suitor.

 Playbill News: Chicago Mill on the Floss Grinds To Halt, Feb. 1
Edmundson is well-known for her adaptations of literary warhorses; other plays she has scripted include Anna Karenina (the drama, not the musical version seen briefly on Broadway a few years ago) and War and Peace, which was performed earlier this year at the National Theatre's Cottesloe.
"The Mill on the Floss script is unique because of Edmundson's ability to extract the essence of character and the dynamism of action from Eliot's novel," says Elizabeth Carlin Metz, who previously directed the play at Knox [IL] College and is making her Chicago directorial debut with this production.
The central character in The Mill on the Floss is Maggie, an unfettered young girl who is caught up in the throes of the Industrial Revolution -- and who quite literally faces death by machinery in the story's tragic ending.

He might still be melancholy, as he always used to be, and like her to look at him kindly.
One of her frequent walks, when she was not obliged to go to St. Ogg’s, was to a spot that lay beyond what was called the “Hill,”—an insignificant rise of ground crowned by trees, lying along the side of the road which ran by the gates of Dorlcote Mill.
In her childish days Maggie held this place, called the Red Deeps, in very great awe, and needed all her confidence in Tom’s bravery to reconcile her to an excursion thither,—visions of robbers and fierce animals haunting every hollow.
