Texas/Oklahoma border during Kennedy part of the '60's. Sheriff Ned continues to try to maintain the peace. Top's Uncle Cody is messing with a married woman and gets in a fight with four men. Ned's cotton pickers threaten to go off the job. Ned is nearly ambushed and killed. Lightfoot (?) is released from prison, kills the man who has moved in with his wife, kills his wife, accidentally causes his house to burn killing the rest of his family except for his baby who turns up dead . . . and may be the first human victim of the animal torturer the book started with. Yikes!
PBS performance during pandemic. No live audience, filmed in a warehouse. Entire play was good, but the standout was Jessie Buckley as Juliet. Great performance.
