SONNY BOY is a part of a collection of short one act play series called THE EDGE – a Twilight Zone-type series that explores social, racial and class issues through the strange and otherworldly scenarios. Sonny Boy is a ghost story of a black boy in the antebellum south – he is killed and is resurrected from the dead to haunt the racist southerners – a literal spiritual carrier of black pain and sorrow brought on by slavery and racism.
