A world premiere stage adaptation of the thriller novel THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER by Davis Grubb. Inspired by the crimes of West Virginia serial killer Harry Powers, who was executed in Grubb’s hometown in 1932 for the murders of two widows and three children, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is about Henry “Preacher” Powell, who has LOVE tattooed on the knuckles of his right hand and HATE on those of his left, and preys on widows in Depression-era West Virginia.
