Night Of The Frogs & Sautee And Nacoochee

Synopsis

<b><i>Night of the Frogs</i></b>

With the realistic dross of our time, here comes a verse play on the Salem Witch Hunts of 1692 that brings pleasure to the ear, action to the eye and the introduction of a character, as yet untreated, who becomes a heroan American businessman.

<b><i>Sautee and Nacoochee</i></b>

Adapted to modern time, <i>Sautee and Nacoochee</i> is a love story derived from a Georgia Indian legend.

Through one-liners and giggles, <i>Sautee and Nacoochee</i> brings humor and pathos to a theatrical crossroads that results in a shattering climax.

"You found a trenchant, driving rhythm for the verse, something that is all your own.

It wasn't imposed on the characters: it spoke for them."

Christopher Fry

"The writing is poetic and the author plays on words that make them interpretive bombs set to explode with symbolism in all directions.

(Manns') humor is successful, not contrived.

He has created phrases that you will remember and quote, and that will last."

Snow, <i>The Great Speckled Bird</i>

"One of the most exciting and highly theatrical scripts I have ever read."

Stuart Culpepper, <i>The Atlanta Journal and Constitution</i>
