Wilder Gone
Description
Thalia wants to build a farmhouse in the middle of the great big city. Mabel is on a quest to become its first female preacher (although her rampant sexual thoughts are having a real impact on her sermonizing). And little Peanut Brittle is digging around in the past. It is only 20 years into the new century, and these ladies are going a bit wild.

Press Quotes
“… [WILDER GONE] is a funny, strange and provocative new play by Angela Hanks … Set in 1921, mostly on a contested piece of property on Wilder Street in a black neighborhood still arising from uncultivated farmland … Despite its bright cheer and generally happy ending WILDER GONE really [is] provocative … insofar as hopefulness may now feel provocative. It’s hard not to be moved, and challenged …” —Jesse Green, The New York Times
