Executioner's Hill: An Homage to Pär Lagerkvist

by Stephen J. Vicchio

Strange things comin’ and goin’ on that hill . . .
The guillotine challenges the axe-wielding executioner’s craft. This exploration of capital punishment set in a small Dutch town in 1799 sears with the immediacy of today’s current debate.
A play in three acts, Executioner’s Hill explores the dynamics of the death penalty, and challenges attitudes from both sides of the issue.

This wonderfully intense play was written by one of my college professors. :)
