Synopsis: | Heaven Sent is set in the hard-scrabble world of Appalachia, circa 1933. SAMUEL LANGLEY, a bitter recluse in his late 60s, lives on the edge of the rural community of Raveloe, Kentucky. He is an herbalist, supporting himself by making homemade remedies. Suffering from epilepsy, his frequent fits make him a mysterious, dark figure in this tight-knit southern community. One night, semi-conscious andin the throes of an epileptic fit, Samuel is robbed of his considerable fortune he kept hidden in a hole in his cabin. When a young child, abandoned by her father and forsaken by her mother, finds her way to Samuels doorstep one cold winter night, Samuel thinks his gold has been returned to him in the form of the childs golden tresses. The play, very loosely based on the 19th-century British novel SILAS MARNER by George Eliot, is the story of a troubled mans redemption through the simple needs of an innocent child. | |||||
