"When the Promise Was Broken is a remarkable collection built around an inspired notion -- pull together a diverse group of first rate American playwrights to write original pieces inspired by the work of one of this nation's indispensable songwriters. The result: a rich and vital body of work that plumbs the depths of the American psyche with all its heartache, striving, passion, loneliness and ultimately, hope."
--CARLOS MURILLO, Head of Playwriting, The Theatre School of DePaul University

"Throughout history, music has been so deeply embedded in theater that the distinction may be more illusion than reality -- which is to say that there's something almost inevitable (and at the same time strikingly original) about this book of plays based on Springsteen's music."
--CRAIG WERNER, Author of A Change Is Gonna Come: Music, Race & the Soul of America

"The songs of Bruce Springsteen are fertile ground, rich with drama -- whole worlds packed into three-minute records. These thirteen playwrights have managed some inspired unpacking: expanding, imagining, re-imagining and conceiving characters ready to take one moment into their hands."
--CHRISTOPHER PHILLIPS, Editor of Backstreets
