Another Fine Production,
By Art "Wise Owl" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ruby McCollum (Library Edition Audio CDs) (Audio CD)
LA Theatre Works is known for its quality radio play productions, and this is no exception. Based upon the investigative journalism of William Bradford Huie, who visited Live Oak after the first murder trial of Ruby McCollum, the radio play follows Huie as he navigates the slippery slopes of Southern politics and the good old boys who run the liquor and control the gambling in the small north Florida town. While the radio play takes liberties with the facts, it is dramatically sound and well produced. This purchase is truly worth the price for anyone wanting to sit back and enjoy a slice of life from the 50s, when society was not so simple as it is often believed to have been--especially for "coloreds."
Anyone who enjoys this radio play should visit the LA Theatre Works site and view this radio play's 1st anniversary interview with Dr. C. Arthur Ellis, Jr., who published the annotated transcript of the Ruby McCollum murder trial, and a followup work covering the investigative journalism of Zora Neale Hurston, who reported on the trial for the Pittaburgh Courier prior to Huie taking up the case upon McCollum's conviction.
