Power and Politics

The world of politics often invites a power struggle. In these five plays, the struggles surface when county commissioners want control of a community action organization, when racial tension arises in a high school, in the ambition of a wannabe-state senator, among family members, and in the thwarted race for one state's governor. They'll Cut off Your Project is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by West Virginia author, Huey Perry. The Halcyon Trilogy is purely fictional and Appalachian Spring Postponed is based on Charlotte Pritt's campaign to become the governor of West Virginia.
