Birmingham Festival Theatre Presents HOLY GHOSTS, 3/1-17
By: Harmony Wheeler
Birmingham Festival Theatre presents "Holy Ghosts" March 1-17.
Seeking to retrieve his runaway wife (and the possessions she has taken with her), Coleman Shedman arrives at the rural meeting house of a southern pentecostal sect with a lawyer in tow. But his wife, Nancy, is unwilling to forsake the love and protection of her new "husband," the Reverend Obediah Buckthorn, and return to the brutal, hard-drinking Coleman. And when the strapping Reverend Buckthorn himself arrives, it is quickly evident that Coleman will not be able to take her back by force. Rich with atmosphere and the feel of southern rural life, the play blends humor and poignancy as it probes into the circumstances and stories of the various cult members.
