The late Reynolds Price is considered one of the country's great Southern novelists, but he was an accomplished playwright as well. In 1989, the Cleveland Play House first presented his New Music trilogy, consisting of the plays August Snow, Night Dance and Better Days. Now, for the first time since then, the trilogy is being presented by Triad Stage in Greensboro, North Carolina, the writer's native state.
