Alliance Theatre 2011-2012 Line-up: April 4 through May 18, 2012
[In the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi in 1957, a terrible tragedy took the lives of two brothers and a beautiful young girl. During the next forty years, the events of that night became the stuff of local legend. But legend is often just another word for lie. Joe McCandless knows what really happened; he saw it all. The question is whether or not he can bring himself to tell the truth in time to save his own troubled sons, and whether the ghosts left behind by an act of violence will help him – or tear the McCandless family apart forever.]
After reading this on the Alliance Theatre's website I mused that Mississippi is the perfect setting for a hellishly gruesome story. Believe me, I know, I lived there for a short time (not short enough IMO.) For the people that love MS please forgive me but it was a miserable place for me and my family to live. I'm sure I won't have any problem relating to this eerie story based in MS.
The idea of this play spanning 40 years of music and events whets my appetite for another King story. There should be some new Blues, Rock, and some present day genres to enjoy. Writng for the theatre seems like it would be so natural for King, that I am surprised that it took him so long for him to do so.
