For 12 years he has been a hellfire and damnation preacher in Kentucky. He discovered that thinking and preaching dont mix so he left that life and has been walking and thinking for three months searching for a new life. MELVIN WILDER a farmhand. 21 - 22 A young man who knows it all. After all, he has been through the Armys basic training - twice! DEWEY MAPLES a young farmhand. 17 - 18 Young , impressionable. He is easily led by Melvin. According to the Samuel French catalogue, this marvelously theatrical play is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. When the boy was young he almost drowned. This trauma and the loss of his mother in the same accident has left him deathly afraid of water. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best. He works as a mechanic for the boy's father. The town doesn't have a preacher and the women try to persuade him to preach while he tries to persuade the child to wash. When the preacher finally gets the boy in the river and is washing him, the townspeople mistake the scene for a baptism. They descend on the event and, in the confusion, the boy drowns.
