Wilder Gone
by Angela Hanks

Thalia wants to build a farmhouse in the middle of the great big city.

Mabel is on a quest to become its first female preacher (although her rampant sexual thoughts are having a real impact on her sermonizing).

"… [WILDER GONE] is a funny, strange and provocative new play by Angela Hanks … Set in 1921, mostly on a contested piece of property on Wilder Street in a black neighborhood still arising from uncultivated farmland … Despite its bright cheer and generally happy ending WILDER GONE really [is] provocative … insofar as hopefulness may now feel provocative.
