What To Know About This Production
In the shadows of the East Texas pines, whispers of danger echo across the land. The year is 1925, a time of clinking glass and clandestine deals, where the roar of engines on dusty backroads signals another forbidden shipment.
Two families, their hatred as strong as the liquor they brew, vie for control of a Prohibition-fueled empire. By day they smile and trade in public, but by night the darkness conceals betrayals, bloodshed and secret meetings.
In this word of hidden passions and deadly feuds, a forbidden love emerges, threatening to upend everything. This October we invite you to the moonlit stages of Shakespeare in the Park for a tale of love and loss set against the intoxicating haze of East Texas' roaring twenties.
