SUMMARY:PURE Theatre presents Covenant by York Walker
DESCRIPTION:In the heat of the Deep South\, a missing guitarist reappears a blues legend\, and the town’s whispered fears of a devil’s deal ignite a reckoning far more dangerous than anyone imagined. \nTwo years after his sudden disappearance\, struggling guitarist Johnny “Honeycomb” James returns to his small Georgia town a blues star\, sparking rumors that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Before long\, however\, it becomes clear he’s not the only one with a secret. Inspired by the myth of Robert Johnson\, this haunting\, Gothic play explores the power of belief and tests the thin veil between rumor and truth. \n“Auspicious… a striking new Southern Gothic work.” —The New York Times \n“Undeniably spooky. Absolutely enjoyable. You’ll be frightened in the best way possible.” —Theatermania \nFEATURING\nZania Cummings*\nTrinity Griffin\nDexter Mitchell\nTonya Nicole*\n& Brandi Smalls\n* PURE Core Ensemble
