Coffeyville Community College Theatre will present the play "Keely and Du" by Jane Martin May 2-4 at 7:30 p.m. The play is free and will be presented in The Spencer/Rounds Theatre.
In Jane Martin's passionate and paranoid thriller "Keely & Du," Keely played by Brittney Anderson, a pregnant working-class woman in her second trimester, is taken captive by bumbling members of the scurrilous "Christian" organization Operation Retrieval, whose agenda is to forcibly prevent women from aborting their pregnancies by denying them access to the outside world. In this case, Keely was raped by her ex-husband, Cole, played by Colton Grant. Du, played by Ashley Lundblade, and Walter, played by Dylan Hart, are her captors, whose actions are all the more infamous as they knowingly force Keely to nurture a fetus which came about through rape.
Predictably, Keely and Du develop a porous love-hate relationship, with each tiptoeing toward mutual empathy, challenging the various tactics to change Keely's mind. Ian Ewing, Arijana Cook, Jacob Pribble and Tim Burns also appear in the play. Samantha Lambert is the production stage manager.
The play is rated R for adult Language and themes.
