Pie Supper
by Le Wilhelm
Synopsis
This is the first play in the author's The Missouri Trilogy which spans several months in a drought stricken Ozarks community in the late 1950s.
Women prepare a farewell supper for those forced by economic crisis to emigrate to California.
Left behind are a high strung girl who will stop at nothing to join the exodus and a lonely older woman who offers an unconventional friendship to a retarded man.
Vivid characters and tart dialogue laced with gentle humor evoke a tender portrait of a bygone era while exploring themes of contemporary significance.
