A play by Charles Smith freely adapted from the novel by Mark Twain: the
story of the two sons of Judge Driscoll, the chief citizen of Dawson’s
Landing, Missouri.  Tom is his legal heir and the child of his wife;
Chambers is his child by the slave girl Roxy.  When Driscoll threatens
to sell Roxy’s son, she switches the babies in their cradles.  The two
boys grow up with each other’s identities – creating a situation both
richly ironic and ultimately tragic.  Directed by Doug Wager.
