4 MERCY: Friendly Fires by Susan Jackson
"Bringing the Southern experience to the Bay Area, one hush puppy at a time." "Fabulous acting, intimate setting, down home hospitality" 4.5 out of 5 Stars -SF Gate
After their sold-out run of 4GIVENESS: In a Family Way, the Southern Railroad Theatre Company returns to the Royce Gallery this September to present award winning playwright, Susan Jackson's latest additions to her Southern Universe, four new short plays united under the theme of Mercy. 4 MERCY: Friendly Fires presents a new installment to our good ol' Southern soap opera, where everyone is related by blood or marriage, where dogs rule, where road trips and backyards reveal more than just weeds----and where mercy can be found.
The plays:
ROCKETS RED GLARE (part 2.5): Crazy Lacy, Nandy, Peaches, and Salacious come together in a "cometojesusmercymeeting" to determine just who ends up with whom. Directed by Susan Jackson
ADOPT A HIGHWAY: Three friends traveling three hours learn more than just three secrets; some are better left unspoken, especially when facing the law. Directed by Ann Thomas
IN SITU: Presents a different perspective on terminal illness, seen through the eyes of two friends; what price, friendship? Directed by Ann Thomas
FOR I AM NOT BREAKING, part 3 (Mercy/Merci): Socialite Marion Peallin, against her lawyer's advice, writes a letter to her soon-to-be-ex, bigamist husband; will he let her keep the one thing she wants? Directed by Stephen Drewes
ROCKET'S RED GLARE 3.0 Nandy and Salacious, FORMER LOVERS, face-off with which opponent (Peaches or Salacious) deserves to be mayor of Beaver Dam. Directed by Susan Jackson
