We start previews today for the third play in the Sanders Family trilogy, having had great success with the first two. Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming is just as simple, just as direct, and I'm guessing (before we get any audience reaction) just as powerful, as the first two. I've not come across anything so formulmaic that spins so much magic and creates so powerful a connection between characters and an audience in my lifetime. What is uncanny is how these plays touch truths with a timelessness that is scary. (Who'd a thunk that some personal testimony on debt would have such resonance when we scheduled the production.)
This one will more than keep you warm in this winter. Looking forward to audience responses.
