Drama
4
males, 3 females, composite set - Two Acts
A
young offender is released into the custody of his kin, who barely
tolerate his presence. Working out his sentence on a farm, the
handsome youth becomes a lightning rod, attracting a storm cloud of
emotions long denied. Behind this all too human drama, the open sky
signals the coming of a greater storm, one which will change all the
characters forever.
In
Neville Bryant’s tightly-crafted play, Cry Against The Wind,
young and old vie for control of their lives and the lives of others
only to learn that real power lies in release and reconciliation.
Cry
Against The Wind is a recognizable story of family and
community. But like all of Bryant’s work, it moves beyond
conventional drama, suggestive in its attention to feeling, detail,
and transformation of character. Cry Against The Wind is
a compelling story of individuals of all ages in fragile co-existence
with family, community, and the larger world.
