‘Lines’ is a tragicomedy about two grave-diggers who work on opposites sides of a line that has been laid down across the middle of a big country, separating blacks and whites. Doc and Bullet are pulled into a chaotic series of events when a black man is stabbed and falls dead on the white side, while a white girl escapes her troubled home and wishes to find refuge on the black side. We soon learn that Bullet is being removed as head coach of the black football team for refusing to play his star athlete, a talented yet violent boy named Ishmael, on the eve of the big game against the whites. While on the other side of the line, Doc must deal with the town’s mayor, who is hatching a plot to have Ishmael shot on the field by his henchmen if the blacks come near scoring their first touchdown since the line was laid down. And in the heavens above, a renegade star attempts to woo a moon away from a dying sun. Inspiration for this play came from an interview the playwright saw on Charlie Rose with August Wilson, just before his death. Mr. Wilson stated that his next play might be about two gravediggers. Unfortunately he never got to add further detail or write the play, so an admirer gave it a shot.
