	A play written in novel format. "Rather than providing only the dialogue and brief stage directions as would be expected in a play, Steinbeck fleshes out the scenes with details of both the characters and the environment"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Bright]. The play's name comes from ''The Tyger'', William Blake's famous poem about the wonder of the creation. The programme of the 1962 South African production at the [[Alexander Theatre]] describes the play as a "modern morality play, a parable told through four symbolic characters: husband, wife, friend and intruder", in which Steinbeck, like Blake, "pondered on man's finiteness in a boundless universe and found his answer in the creative richness of love: in man's capacity for good". The play moves through three backgrounds namely a circus, a farm and on board a ship.		A play written in novel format.
