"Past Redemption: A Drama in Four Acts" by George M. Baker is a play that throws us into a whirlwind of dreams and desires in a small town, where Harry Maynard is itching for a life bigger than his own and sets off for the city. The drama ignites when Harry's choices begin to ripple outward, touching Charity Goodall, who is determined to help those who’ve lost their way, along with a tapestry of characters woven into his destiny, including a jealous Tom Larcom and the suspicious Robert Thornton. Set against the backdrop of a lively corn husking, where love and envy mix as freely as the town gossip, the play plunges into a world where ambition clashes with morality, and every character is faced with defining who they wish to become.
Past Redemption: A Drama in Four Acts
By George M. (George Melville) Baker
