I was privileged again to watch Mr Higgins wonderful portrayl of “Major Redmond” last night on PBS. Ive backpacked and fished many of the areas mentioned. It gave me chills to see and have described some of the scenes in the story.
Wouldnt it be something to have a movie crafted around this presentation. Then filmed in the area.
thanks again

Will Miton Higgins be returning to Pickens to tell the story live this year? I’ve seen it on PBS a few times and it always impresses me how true to life the story is. I would love to see him perform this live. Very captivating!

Mr. Higgins, performance of Lewis Redmond, was first class thor ! I’ve watched it many times on PBS…it is a jewel. Mountain folk…were only trying to make a liv’in the best way they knew how and making moonshine was the only thing there was which made any kinda money. Supply and demand…if’f it don’t make dollars…it don’t make cents !!!

We were so sad to be unable to attend Dark Corners right here at home and would love to know if there are any other performances on the books anywhere? Thanks, A History Buff in Oconee

Many, many thanks, Dave — We had a grand two nights at the Oconee Community Theater. A lot of Redmond relatives were there. There was a great crowd both nights, and Milton was in top form. He got a standing ovation each night. People around here love The Prince of Dark Corners — genetically, we relate to it! Gary did a flawless job on the language, which is the Mother Tongue — for Milton, and for most of his audience. Your help in publicizing this production is SOOOO appreciated!

Dave,
Thank you, kindly. I enjoyed writing “Prince of Dark Corners,” and I especially enjoyed doing performances in isolated rural areas where our stage was little more than an empty space in the back of a room. I am an advocate of that kind of theater.
