BIG RIVER: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Temple Theatre

Reviews

  • "... this Temple Theatre production leans closer to the side of joy and is totally worth a trip to Sanford." RDU On Stage (PDF)
  • "Played against the lilting tunes of bluegrass, Appalachian folk music, old fashioned country twang, and deeply stirring old spirituals, Big River is a treat for the eyes and ears, and appropriate for audiences of any age." Triangle Arts & Entertainment (PDF)
Synopsis
Twain's timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family.
