I recently posted pictures on the Arts Discussion Board from the GVSU production of You Can Lead A Horse To Water that I directed in the fall of 2005. To get things started, here is a photo of the set followed by one with the actors who played Lawyer and Son:
The Fights
“Move Old Fool . . . I hate you, you old dog and I ga tell her.”
“He drag her outside”, “right outside in da road”,
“in front o’ errybody”, “in front o’ all o’ we.”
“Blow on, blow on, top each other, beating,
screeching, screaming, bleeding.”
“High Blood Pressure Medicine my ass,
all you woman just alike, no damn good.”
The Witnesses
“He say he was fourteen but dat ain’ true.”
“All of her fingers were distended and stiff.”
“Well naturally, as her Boss, I never saw that side of her.”
“Next thing you know, I mix up in
all kind o’ bring-go-carry-come.”
“My goodness, no, no, no, no, no, we do have our standards.”
“I ain’ come here to run down da dead.”
Trouble
“She always in trouble wit dem children o’ hers.”
“Cut his ass ’till it bleed, you here me,
das what dey all need, a good cut ass.”
“Who started the fight?” “Him, judge to your honor sir.”
“He should o’ lock ya ass up one time and be done wit it.”
“Now dere’s cigarette and dere’s cigarette and dat
what you dem light up over dere ain’ no cigarette.”
“You ain’ goin’ down dere to get yourself in no more trouble eh?”
Friends & Lovers
“Dat lil horin’ son of a you know who come touchin’ up on my chile.”
“Mother loving, Old man taking,
Making noises in the night.”
“You either saw the fight or you didn’t.”
“I am goin’ to send my clothes what too small for me for Old Fool.”
“My boy send it for me, but I think it’ll look better on you.”
“What good for da goose ain’t gat to be good for da gander.”
All things will eventually come to an end
“Dey mussie sellin’ dope!”
“Dear Brother, I do not see your
letters, do you write them anymore?”
“And that night I had a dream. There was this big white horse.”
“Do you know that feeling in your
stomach when you’re being squeezed?”
“Get out and go where?”
“Where ever you belong, where ever that is.”
“Is it your chain you want, is it your money you want?”
“I dreamed that you had gone to heaven sometimes.”
“Can a Mother’s tender care, cease toward the child she bare.”
“Old Fool is now the man.”
