About "Gray Area"- A Delightfully Uncivil Comedy
When a scathing theater critic and radio commentator, Farragut, takes a gratuitous swipe at Civil War re-enactors as his final public salvo, three “good ole Dixie boys” decide they cannot let his remarks go unchallenged. This comical collision of worlds is a full out black-white, blue-gray, blue-red raging debate. Stereo-types are the biggest casualty in this delightfully uncivil comedy.
