    An existential and cinematic experience questioning the attainability of the American dream set amidst the backdrop of a war within the United States. Following the story of blues singer Blind James Fuller as he is arrested and wrongly convicted and sentenced to die. This while a husband and wife deal with terminal illness and artists and misfits of society celebrate. The work touches on many subjects such as class warfare, racism, media responsibility, love, death and free will within a world of lawlessness. Combines the use of cinematic, surrealistic and auditory elements. It is a blues song for today’s hard times.

          Finally, a play that does not disguise what is happening in our culture or hide a current message in 18th century garb. relevant and timely! Excellent cast and videos. I cried at the end. Brilliant!
