Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Play script. An evocative story of three outsiders, richly realized through all of the resources of theatre, including poetry, character, and story. Various locations in and around Ware, Illinois, in the late spring of 1935. (THE TASTE OF SUNRISE by Suzan L. Zeder is the prequel to this play.) CAST: 4 men, 4 women (minimum) who create 10 roles.

Set in southern Illinois, during the great Depression, this play is about three outsiders - - a foundling girl known only as Girl; a deaf boy, eloquent in the language of his silence; and an eccentric recluse, Mother Hicks, who is suspected of being a witch. The tale, told with poetry and sign language, chronicles the journeys of these three to find themselves, and each other, in a troubled time. Provocative productions through North America have revealed the power and appeal of this play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mother Hicks is a Witch People Say........, September 20, 2000
By "reader1600" (Findlay, OH USA) - See all my reviews
The fall of 1999 our Freshman & Sophmore class put on a production of the play Mother Hicks. I would like to say that it is one of the best palys I have ever been in. It had a great story line, and a cast you come to love. each role is no less important then the next, and is a superb show, for any level actor/actress.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can see the sharp sting of honey, and I can taste the sunrise., May 7, 2009
This past fall, my school did this show. We took it to state competition and won third place. It is such an amazing show. I played Clovis P. Eudy, and it's true what another customer said; that this show does bring the cast together. No part is less important than the next. LOVE IT!!!

"Can't stand to hear the word of God?!?"
I got to scream that @ Mother Hicks. I waited through the whole show for that line every time. lol

5.0 out of 5 stars best play ever!, August 1, 2008
"Mother Hicks is witch people say, and she lives all alone on the top of dug hill" Mother Hicks was the first play I ever acted in. This play is the reason I fell in love with theatre. Not only because it was my first play, did I love it, the story line, the characters, even reading it is is amazing. There is good humor in the play, along with a good serious underlaying message. I would reccomend this book/play to anyone.
