TRP Presents “And the Tide Shall Cover the Earth”
By Norma Cole. An unforgettably warm and true story of a remarkable Grandmother and her grand daughter, confronted by inexorable nature and change. We are in the world of the lakes and dams of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The setting is 1948 in Kentucky. The hydroelectric dam at Wolf Creek is finished and closed, and heavy rains lift the levels of the new lake. Soon water will cover the lands and farms long-since purchased, and people must move to new towns. Only Granny, determined to keep her promise to her man in the graveyard - - and her grand daughter, Geneva, just as certain they will leave - - are locked in a contest of “the stubborns’. Geneva gradually prevails. But Granny, in turn, brings forth her hidden treasures in blue jars, and both find a way to go forward with the changes of their lives. “A new American classic’ observed the 1994 Southeastern Community Theatre Festival in awarding Norma Cole’s play it’s “Best Play Award”.
