Colonial Players presents 'Coyote on a Fence' and a Beer Tasting!

Illiterate and boyish, Bobby Reyburn is a young man who clings to childish absolutes and the bigoted beliefs taught to him by the only person who was ever kind to him. In the cell next to him is John Brennan, an educated and arrogant writer who may be guilty according to the court but not according to his own sense of honor and justice. Sam is a reporter for the New York Times who meets with John to understand why he goes to such great lengths to un-demonize the executed prisoners. And Shawna does her best to make sense of it all so she can sleep at night after being a State’s Witness for the executions. Often cold and bleak, January is the perfect backdrop for Coyote On A Fence by Bruce Graham. This prison drama offers a glimpse into the lives of the two death row inmates, the jail guard, and the reporter who are all processing their experience. As an audience we’re invited not to judge them, capital punishment, or the judicial system, but to experience the process with them.
Please Note: Coyote on a Fence contains mature situations, extreme language and racial slurs.

After this performance only, the director and cast will be available to answer your questions and respond to your comments, whether they are relating to character development, staging, special effects, or other areas of the production. To compliment the post-show talkback, Katcef Bros, the distributor of Anheuser Busch, will be conducting complimentary samplings of Budweiser beer and Stella Artois Cidre, a Belgian hard cider that Anheuser-Busch recently began importing into the United States. Budweiser beer is featured in a portion of this production. The talkback will begin at approximately 9:45pm. You do not need to attend the show to attend the talkback or tasting, which is free.

Adults, $20. Seniors/Students, $15. Showtimes Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm. There is an additional performance on Sunday, January 19th at 7:30pm. Call the Box Office at 410-268-7373, or visit thecolonialplayers.orgfor more information and tickets!
