Set against the backdrop of a small American town hit hard by the Great Depression, The Trestle at Pope lick Creek explores the lives of two teenagers who find solace high atop a railroad trestle that spans a bone dry creek, planning to race across the bridge against an oncoming locomotive. Their experiences, dawning sexuality and adolescent confusion awakens dangerous passions in an era of stifled ambitions. With theatrical flourish, humor and lyrical finesse, Naomi Wallace delves into a world where people struggle to change lives that bear down upon them.
