“It takes a lifetime to get to a good death,” mused Obie-winning actor Maude Mitchell.
“This is a cautionary tale. In this story, Myrtle faces her death more with regret and reckoning than with peace or redemption.”
Mitchell plays Myrtle Bledsoe in Horton Foote’s one-woman reminisce, “A Coffin in Egypt,” about a privileged Texan royal trying to reconcile her life’s choices amidst class, race, and women’s issues of the 20th century.
The play runs this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the latest iteration of Carver’s Barn, a new haven for artists in Vernonburg on Savannah’s Southside.
