Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave
by Maynard Collins
February 20–25, 1979
This play is the concert the late country singer might have given on New Years Day in 1953 had he not died, at the age of 29, enroute to the performance. Sneezy Waters, backed by a four piece band lives through both the triumph and despair of Williams life through dramatic monologue, and many of Williams’ songs.
