Story for The Gravediggers Lullaby

The Actors Company Theatre presents the World Premiere of THE GRAVEDIGGER’S LULLABY by Jeff Talbott, Directed by Jenn Thompson. A hauntingly beautiful tale of struggle and survival by the award-winning playwright of The Submission. Jeff Talbott’s powerful new play is a gritty look into the life of Baylen, an honest, hard-working gravedigger who sweats and bleeds to support his small family. He has it all in his hands: love, death, and dirt. But when society begins to crush him, which one will he hold onto? Set in a time gone by, the play is a contemporary fable that will touch your heart and feed your soul.
