Dark of the Moon

By Howard Richardson and William Berney
Directed by Keith Thompson
Assistant Director Peggy Thompson
26th April – 3rd May 1975

A tragic fantasy love-story set amongst the hill-billies of the Smokey Mountains, where a witch-boy falls in love with a village girl, but is rejected by the superstitious villagers.

The play includes a great deal of music — folk song, square-dancing and revivalist hymn-singing.
