'The Fading Flower' tells a little known story
Mahonri Stewart has taken on a monumental task — tell the story of the LDS Church, Emma Smiths difficult times following the death of her prophet husband and the struggles within her family after Joseph Smith died.
Hes doing that with an original stage play called The Fading Flower, which focuses largely on David Hyrum Smith, the son of Emma and Joseph born after the martyrdom.
(It opened May 29 in the Provo Theater and runs through June 13. See www.newplayproject.org for tickets.)
