Snow in July

Snow in July takes us into the same sort of area as Advice for the Living. We have a character who is going to die sooner than the rest of us (hopefully).
Except here the story is presented in dramatic form and the main focus is on the likely to live longer spouse. It is a bitter sweet story of one who is struggling to find a way to accept it all and go on with living.
There is a certain hope in this aspect of the story, an embrace of change, and change is something it is best to come to terms with. Change being a constant.
There is another story here as well. A story of industrial pollution, it's tragic results years in the future, long after the polluters have gone out of business.
In Snow in July we have a beautiful combination of the personal story that pulls us in, and the bigger story of industry, law, and justice.
This excellent play by Alice Nutter can be heard here through Monday Jan. 14, 2008. Just click on the Tuesday button.
