"Summer of Hate" Motivates Silas House

For a work of drama, a play opening tonight at Berea College was practically ripped from today’s headlines.  Titled “This is My Heart for You,” it was written within just a few months by Kentucky author Silas House.   Moved by real acts of violence and bigotry, House explores equality and morality in a small, fictional Appalachian town.  The author explained his motives to WEKU’s Roger Duvall.

“This is My Heart for You” is performed at 8:00 pm in the Jelkyl Drama Center at Berea College.
