Burning Coal Raises The Ghosts of Fayetteville Street 10/29-31
By: Gabrielle Sierra Oct. 13, 2010
Burning Coal teams up with the Raleigh City Museum for a third year to tell the stories of Raleigh's history in an new, Halloween-themed script, The Ghosts of Fayetteville Street. The production, with a script by Oakwood author Ian Finley, and featuring actors from Burning Coal Theatre Company, will visit several sites along Fayetteville Street and around the State Capitol. Along the way, audiences will encounter close-up some of the most haunting (and hysterical) citizens of Raleigh's past.
Ten years ago, Burning Coal presented the southeastern premiere of Conor McPherson's haunting 90 minute one-man show, St. Nicholas. Twenty inches of snow fell on Raleigh and almost all the performances were cancelled. Ten years on, director Randolph Curtis Rand (To Kill A Mockingbird) and actor Jerome Davis (Burning Coal's artistic director) once again pair up to resuscitate this chilling story. If you liked Burning Coal's productions of The Weir (1999) and The Seafarer (2010), then you will surely want to get tickets now for this funny and haunting story of a man at the very end of his rope, who somehow manages to find his way back.
