He was also killed by lightning while having a tryst with the mother of Leif's girlfriend, and the effect of that tragic event is still felt. The mother and her husband are now hopeless alcoholics, and their daughter is committed to their care
But it is the arrival of an outsider, a mysterious prophet- like stranger named Mickey, which brings the action to focus, and illuminates the shared experiences which tie together all the various, and disparate, characters who people the play
And, in the end, it is also Mickey, through his unsuspected involvement in Leif's own past, who impels matters to their inevitable, and dramatically moving, conclusion
This imaginative and absorbing play, which enjoyed successful productions both Off-Off-Broadway and in leading regional theatres, probes into the interlocking lives of a richly varied group of people in a small town in Tennessee
