Book excerpt: The Nibroc Trilogy comprises three plays ("Last Train to Nibroc," "See Rock City," "Gulf View Drive") by award-winning playwright Arlene Hutton. All three scripts follow a Kentucky couple through stages of the life they share. Hutton's plays have been performed widely in the U.S. and abroad to great acclaim. Major media outlets have praised Hutton's trilogy: "Hutton's writing is luminous" (Los Angeles Times); ..".reminiscent of Thornton Wilder" (Associated Press); "Language itself plays a central role" (Boston Globe); "It's easily one of the finest intimate productions staged anywhere in metro Atlanta in more than a decade" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution); ..".too funny and hardheaded to be merely sentimental" (Dallas Morning News); "The most perfect show on the Edinburgh Fringe" (Financial Times of London); "90 minutes of romance" (Variety); "Let your guard down for even a few seconds and they've got you ... you could easily enjoy a few hours of this" (New York Times). The collection also includes a Preface by actor/playwright Ellen McLaughlin, an Introduction by editor/theatre professor Shan R. Ayers, and an Afterword by director Eric Nightengale. Plus a bonus recipe for squash pickles! This literary anthology of Hutton's Nibroc scripts is published by MotesBooks (www.MotesBooks.com)
