The Real Housewives

Below is a cover art for a play by Eddie McPherson. His plays can be found at: http://www.eddiemcpherson.com/

The synopsis of this play goes something like this:
Welcome to Cricket County – the land that cool forgot. With characters named Bodean and Chigger, what’s not to love? The gals think being a housewife is the highest callin’ there is. They’re happy with their cookin’, gardenin’, cleanin’ lifestyle, with neighbor-spyin’ and coon-huntin’ on the side – until “richer’n clabbered cream” Monica Northcutt crashes their quilting bee with her women’s rights spiel. Discontent brews faster’n a jar of sun tea, and suddenly cookin’ frog legs don’t look so appealing. Though the gals say if you offered their husbands a penny for their thoughts, you’d get back change, the good ol’ boys have the last word as they show their wives the true meaning of beauty: contentment! Fun side gags involving a scarecrow and “muscadine juice.” May be used as dinner theatre.

Shakespeare in Cricket County

A cover commission for a play by Eddie McPherson. The synopsis goes something like this:

Shakespeare? Elkin Taylor and his kinfolk down home in the hollow never heard of him. When city-cultured Mrs. Featherred hears about Elkin’s huge inheritance, she visits Cricket County with two Shakespearean actors eager to get an endowment for her theatre. But when “Romeo and Juliet” perform with their lofty language, the kinfolk haven’t a clue about what is going on. Even their confused dog, Mudhole, attacks them. Pile on one silly misunderstanding after another and mix it together with madcap action, you have a hilarious hillbilly play that’s fun for both the performers and the audience.
