OLD HICKORY

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY RIC SILER
DIRECTED BY WALLACE NORMAN

WORLD PREMIERE OLD HICKORY is a story about a man with a little problem–two really–a fearsome ex-wife who won’t leave him alone and a knife . . . and he’s been having these thoughts. Set in the mountains of West Virginia, Old Hickory is a ‘hillbilly gothic’ comedy about one man’s journey to his moment of decision, with his trusty knife (and the guidance of a mountain shaman named Catfish). Ric Siler plays five characters in this engrossing story that explores family, the choices we make and the extremes we go to when we see no other way out, all with a healthy dollop of Appalachian culture, wisdom and humor.
