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."
