Description
HOLY DAYS is a slice of life play directed by Ted Rooney about a family struggling to survive on the Kansas plains during the Dust Bowl era.
Event Details
Sally Nemeth’s HOLY DAYS is a stage poem. It is uncommonly affecting — an elegy for the lost souls in the dying plains of Kansas, 1936, who clung to their blighted homesteads like bees to the poisoned hive.
Set in Kansas during the Dust Bowl, this play tells the story of two farmer brothers and their wives struggling to make it through the drought and winds that hit the southern Great Plains during the 30’s, blowing away as much withered hope as dried-out topsoil …
But the play is less about plot than quiet emotion and reflection … the deep hope Dust Bowlers had to draw upon to carry on. Tickets: 21ten.org
