The Love Talker
Pellissippi State Theatre
Greenside @ Riddles Court
7–14 Aug
This eerie, supernatural play rooted in Appalachian folklore, tells the story of two sisters, Bun and Gowdie, who live alone in the woods of Clinch Mountain, Virginia. On St John’s Day, the longest day of the year, fourteen-year-old Gowdie is newly tempted and enamored by the charms of the seductive Love Talker and the impish Red Head. Meanwhile, Bun fights to protect her younger sister from their spells but unwittingly finds herself caught up in their magic. Despite the resistance, both spirits are determined to lead the sisters into earthly awakenings, madness and betrayal.
