This play sounds very interesting to me. I grew up in Atlanta, which is very close to southern Appalachia, where this play takes place. In fact, I spent much of my childhood in a town in northern Georgia called Blue Ridge. It will be interesting to see this environment on stage, as it is something that I have grown up very close to. However, this play is not about reminiscing about childhood memories. It is much more serious and deals with relevant and important issues in the poor, rural towns in the Appalachian mountains. Unfortunately, many of these towns have been left behind in the modern world, and many people in these towns struggle with the abuse of drugs and/or alcohol. As far as I can tell, this is something that this play deals with in depth. If ever possible, I would very much like to see this show and see how it relates to my experiences in the same area.
