Edward Foote

A stranger comes to town, looking terribly familiar to the residents of a tiny rugged Appalachian community in the 1930s. Could it be that Edward Foote, a drunken good-for-nothing father, has returned? In this Southern Gothic mystery, a small community is forced to reveal its darkest secrets. This world premiere noir features a captivating story told against the backdrop of folk songs and haunting shape note singing (as featured in the film Cold Mountain). Phillip DePoy, a pillar of the Atlanta theatre community, marries his love of mystery writing and theatrical classics in a gothic new work.
