Back County Crimes

By Lanie Robertson

Similar in structure to Spoon River Anthology and Our Town, Back County Crimes presents life - and, in this case, violent death - in a small town, tied together by a running commentary by the town's sole physician of many years. The author has a savvy sense of black comedy, utilized by weaving a series of sordid tales of backwoods murder and adultery. Each vignette is either compelling or caustically comic. It is a strangely beautiful play, with music, by a writer of great ability.
