Terria Bates' 9TH COMMANDMENT - EVA RETURNS to Play Burning Coal Theatre Today

By:

Today, August 10th, 2013, the stage play The 9th Commandment - Eva Returns by Terria Bates is presented at the Burning Coal Theatre, 224 Polk Street, Raleigh.

Chaz, a father who loves his wife (Jennifer) and daughter (Amber), is faced with an addiction to alcohol and a lying spirit. His perfect world is turned upside down when he eventually gets himself tangled in a web of lies and blackmail that can only be solved by giving his life to Christ. His best friend (Kelly) helps him to realize that he is on the road of self destruction. However Kelly also has some secrets that are revealed by a stranger from the past (Eva). Eva not only interferes once but she returns and brings a whole lot of baggage and drama with her.

This astonishing, dramatic stage play will keep you in suspense as the entire family struggles in an attempt to keep their lies and family together.

Showtimes: 12 noon and 6:00 PM. For further information or to purchase tickets, visit www.the9thcommandment.com.

Burning Coal Theatre Company is Raleigh's small, professional theatre. Burning Coal is an incorporated, non-profit [501 (c) (3)] organization. Burning Coal's mission is to produce literate, visceral, affecting theatre that is experienced, not simply seen. Burning Coal produces explosive reexaminations of overlooked classic and modern plays, as well as new plays, whose themes and issues are of immediate concern to our audience, using the best local, national and International Artists available. We work toward a theatre of high-energy performances and minimalist production values. The emphasis is on literate works that are felt and experienced viscerally, unlike more traditional linear plays, at which audiences are most often asked to observe without participating. Race and gender non-specific casting is an integral component of our perspective, as well as an international viewpoint.
