Produced twice to acclaim at New York's 29th Street Rep, this riveting piece is set around the last public execution in the United States, the 1936 hanging of a black man for the rape and murder of an elderly white woman in Kentucky. The mayor, surprisingly for this time and place, is a woman. She was reluctantly thrust into office after her husband's sudden death and now must preside over the execution, even as she takes a stand against hypocrites, including those in her own family.
