Romulus Linney’s masterful play finds its way back to the New York stage after a 40-year absence.
Set in present-day rural Tennessee, a group of faithful, broken Pentecostal outcasts find solace, understanding, and strength in one another as they wrestle with their own serpents and discover their divinity. Fleeing an abusive marriage, Nancy finds herself surrounded by a religious flock and their charismatic shepherd.
When Nancy’s husband, Coleman, hunts her down, battle lines are drawn and a fiery war begins.
