About “An Evening of Culture”

“An Evening of Culture” is the long-awaited sequel to “Faith County,” written by Mark Landon Smith. Set in Mineola County, Arkansas, the local Council for Cultural Recognition stages a production of “Romeo and Juliet.” All but one of the actors is past their prime for the young characters in Shakespeare’s play, and the acting troupe is taking more than a few liberties with the Bard’s works. The play-within-a-play features an unfinished set and a dog who continually barks offstage, and on opening night, not all of the actors know their lines, one has left his costume at home and another wants to switch to a different play, even though the curtain goes up in 20 minutes.
