MAD RIVER RISING
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Oct. 17-Nov. 14
Eden Park
Directed by Blake Robison
Cast: Billy Finn as Spencer Eddy, Grant Goodman as Charlie Stewart, Rob Hogan as Angus Stewart, Ty Joseph Shelton as Young Angus/Nick Stewart, Sheila Tousey as Mae/Marie Cousino Stewart & Terry Weber as Hopley Stewart
Determined to save the land he loves, Angus Stewart escapes from his nursing home and is found hiding in the family barn. As a boy, the cantankerous 85-year-old witnessed his Ohio farmhouse wash away in the catastrophic flood of 1937. Now, the floodgates of progress are threatening to sweep it aside once again. Mad River Rising flows from past to present and remembered moments in between as its unforgettable characters wrestle with the uncompromising bonds of family, responsibility and legacy. What results is a poetic, poignant and utterly captivating drama.
Advisory: MAD RIVER RISING is appropriate for adults and teenage audiences. The show’s cantankerous protagonist has reached an age where he says whatever he wants, even when that results in slightly saltier language.
