Holy Ghosts

But his wife, Nancy, is unwilling to forsake the love and protection of her new "husband," the Reverend Obediah Buckhorn, and return to the brutal, hard-drinking Coleman

And when the strapping Reverend Buckhorn himself arrives, it is quickly evident that Coleman will not be able to take her back by force

Rich with atmosphere and the feel of southern rural life, the play blends humor and poignancy as it probes into the circumstances and stories of the various cult members It culminates in a gripping snake-handling scene in which the cynical Coleman, to his own amazement, is himself converted to a true believer

A stunning, often funny, and ultimately moving study of a Southern snake-handling cult, which has enjoyed successful productions both Off-Broadway and in leading regional theatres
