Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Southern aristocrat Regina Hubbard Giddens struggles for wealth and freedom within the confines of an early 20th century society where a father considered only sons as legal heirs. As a result, her avaricious brothers Benjamin and Oscar are independently wealthy, while she must rely upon her sickly husband Horace for financial support.

Having married his much-maligned, alcoholic wife Birdie solely to acquire her family's plantation and its cotton fields, Oscar now wants to join forces with Benjamin to construct a cotton mill. They approach their sister with their need for an additional $75,000 to invest in the project.

Directed by Linda Piccone.

    This 1900's drama proves that not many can be immune when money is the subject matter. When the play starts it is a bit vague and you wander what is really wrong with this seamingly idylic family - but everybody's motives and secret hatreds are revealed slowly during the play. The stage was arranged beautifully, the costumes were exquisite, and most of the time everybody had a perfect southern accent (although at times it was either overdone, or lost). "Birdie" was very good, as was "Cal" in his short appearance. "Oscar" seems like a very good actor that started a bit off when we attended, but he got better as the play advanced. Hilbarn is a cozy theatre, and this adds to the charm of the play - when you are able to witness this distorted family at its worst. Collapse
