The Telling
Written by R. Vincent Park, Directed by Joshua Briggs
The Telling is a Southern Gothic ritual play set in Deadfall Run — a small American town built on a particular kind of secret everyone knows but has, by long practice, agreed not to speak aloud. When sixteen-year-old Billy Hardy accidentally shoots and kills his sister, Mary Beth, the town does what towns in Mercy County have always done: closes in around the wound and demands what a town like this always demands. Standing witness are Chronos — time made patient flesh — and Coyote, the old American trickster, who has watched this machinery grind up the innocent before. What Billy discovers, at great cost, is that the pressure bearing down on him has roots going back generations... The Telling is about what a community makes its children carry instead of the truth.
