13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Great story of love/loss. Good use of appalachian dialect. By A Customer This is a passionate yet tender look at love. The story of the Witch Boy (John) who gives up his magic for the love of Barbara Allen, and the consequences, points up predjudice and fear of the unknown. The play is well written for the characters and has many opportunites for cameo roles in the casting. It is an ideal play for small theatres to consider producing. There is a wonderful use of appalchian dialect in the characters and ample chance to add ballads and rousing dance to make it a musical as well. The Opera version doesn't yet do it justice. I have had the joy of doing several productions of this work (one with Mr. Richardson) and feel it is a great piece to represent American theatre.
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A treasure revisited. By E. Steele This is one of the lost treasures of the American Theater. Once one of the most produced plays by high schools and colleges it has lost stature and is only produced occasionally. The reasons for this are a mystery to me.As an actor's exercise it offers performers (particularly young ones) a chance to stretch and discover different cultural types.Based on the ballad "Barbara Allen" the play about a love affair and marriage between a Witchboy and a beautiful young woman is highly theatrical and filled with a mystical and earthy quality. Appalachian characters and traditional mountain songs add to the color and whimsical nature of the story.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A fun read By Lewis Blanchard As plays go Dark of the Moon is very enjoyable. The written accents become very engrossing, only helping the story along. The dark mood of the play, the great characters, setting, and songs make it a pleasure. Covering lost love to peer pressure. I would love to be a part of this play.
