A Limb of Snow
Author(s):
Anna Marie Barlow
As outlined in The NY Post: "LIMB OF SNOW, the shorter play, is the one that is simply superb; it is also totally original, unlike anything in the contemporary manner. It takes place in a cabin in the High Sierras in the 1890s, just as the gold strikes are petering out. A girl has run away from home at 16, cutting herself off from her family forever, to marry a young man who hopes to make his fortune gambling in the mining camps. Now they are 21, she is pregnant, has already lost two infants, also a house that was washed away; the snow is piling upon a limb over the roof; it is time for something more stable. Her husband, a perpetual and likable optimist ('Don't think I ever have bad luck, just sometimes I don't have good luck') can't see it, can't stand the idea of giving up, being shrunk down to drab normality. All I can say is that the 40 minutes (or so) are absolutely alive and true, not just true but subtly, persuasively true."
