Ghost Brothers of Darkland County

Stephen King play to finally make its premiere in Atlanta   

Stephen King + John Mellencamp + T Bone Burnett = Must see!

I saw the billboard the other day and couldn't believe my eyes. It must have been three of four years ago when I first heard about the possibility of this making its premiere here in the ATL.  Talk of it just kind of disappeared like some ghost in the Bayou.  Below is the synopsis for the show:

"In the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi in 1967, a terrible tragedy took the lives of two brothers and a beautiful young girl. During the next forty years, the events of that night became the stuff of local legend. But legend is often just another word for lie. Joe McCandless knows what really happened; he saw it all. The question is whether or not he can bring himself to tell the truth in time to save his own troubled sons, and whether the ghosts left behind by an act of violence will help him – or tear the McCandless family apart forever."

The show opens on April 4th and runs through May 13th and will be directed by Susan V. Booth.
