The Word for Snow

The Word for Snow is a one-act play by Don DeLillo. Inspired by global climate change, the play concerns a pilgrim who seeks out a professor who has fallen silent.[1]

The play was commissioned by the Chicago Humanities Festival and premiered on October 27, 2007, in a production by the Steppenwolf Theatre Company.[2] Subsequent to a West End production in 2012, Manhattan's Karma bookstore published the manuscript in 2014.[3]
