Introduction
A cynical play of family greed and revenge not unlike a Greek classical tragedy. Set in the 1900s, the wealthy Hubbard family steal, deceive and plot against each other in their efforts to invest in one of the first cotton mills to industrialize the Deep American South - a plan which will make them millions of dollars. Regina takes dramatic revenge on her sick husband when he obstructs her from taking part in her brothers’ investment. Their daughter, Alexandra, is too young to defy their plans and neither can Aunt Birdie, who drinks to anaesthetize the pain of having married a bully and having lost her own family's plantation to the rapacious Hubbards.
The satiric element of the play consists of its condemnation of the family’s crimes against society. Their ancestors attained wealth by overcharging newly freed slaves and now the Hubbards will create a larger dynasty on the toil of poor workers, who will flock to the cotton mill for its paltry wages.
