See Rock City

A medical condition keeps Raleigh from military service, and he is forced to sit idly on the porch, watching the cars drive by, as May supports them both as a high-school principal

Faced with daily rejection letters for his writing, constant criticism from his mother and taunts of cowardice from townspeople, Raleigh fights to find meaning in his new life

When tragedy strikes the family and May loses her job to returning soldiers, she discovers she must make an unimaginable sacrifice to save her relationship with Raleigh

This tender portrayal of married life, set against the backdrop of World War II, shows the best of the human spirit and its ability to overcome any and all obstacles

The second play of a trilogy, See Rock City stands alone as a very funny, touching and universal portrayal of a young couple very much in love

REVIEWS

"Playwright Arlene Hutton has done a risky and, as it turns out, wonderful thing in writing See Rock City. Without missing a step, she has created a sequel that is every bit as accomplished as its progenitor, Last Train to Nibroc. It's not simply that Hutton has returned to two characters who served her so well the first time out that is so daring. In this age of post-9/11 anxiety and complexity she's given us two characters who are decent people, worth caring about, and setting them in motion in a story that involves no melodramatics, no manipulative turns, no aberrant behavior. See Rock City offers a reality that is as complex as the realities of day-to-day life outside the theater" ~ Berkshire Eagle

"Don't be surprised if this sequel has as long an after life as its predecessor Last Train to Nibroc. It's a lovely chamber work with all the characters richly developed and enough nuances to invest the flavorful dialogue and setting with more depth than the old-fashioned, well-made play simplicity implies" ~ CurtainUp
