Southbridge

SOUTHBRIDGE is the second play in Reginald Edmund's The City of the Bayou Collection. A white widow is assaulted; an angry mob is at the jail house door, screaming "Lynch him!". The only way to untangle the truth about the events is for the accused, Christopher C Davis, to look into the events that have lead him to a tree stump in Athens Ohio in the year 1881. "[SOUTHBRIDGE] marks Edmund as a writer of omnivorous intellect and a lover of bold metaphors." Chicago Tribune "Playwright Reginald Edmund demonstrates a keen sensitivity to his characters' psyches, leaving each one multidimensional and morally uncomfortable-some more so than others." Chicago Theatre Review "An intricate and heartfelt theatrical experience." ChicagoCritic
