Strange things comin' and goin' on that hill . . . The guillotine challenges the axe-wielding executioner's craft. This exploration of capital punishment set in a small Dutch town in 1799 sears with the immediacy of today's current debate. A play in three acts, Executioner's Hill explores the dynamics of the death penalty, and challenges attitudes from both sides of the issue.
