In a small farm community during the depression water and
faith are in short supply.
A charismatic but back-sliding preacher drifts into town and meets a
gentle but misunderstood boy with the gift of divining or
water-witching. The two outcasts find a common bond and help each other
divine for truth, faith and hope. The townspeople though demand the
preacher return to a way of life he no longer believes in and it drives
both men to a crisis of trust.
Jim Leonard Jr.’s earthy, funny, poignant and profoundly tragic play has
echoes of Steinbeck’s classic depression era work. The characters are
simple but good people searching for hope and something to believe in.
