A poetic and achingly beautiful narrative, set around a railway trestle during the Great Depression in a "town outside a city … somewhere in the U.S." The story concerns an adolescent boy and his voyage of discovery with an older girl. Their futures appear bleak, but the excitement of racing the train across the trestle becomes a symbol for their hopes and fears.

"Like a blend of Ingmar Bergman and Horton Foote, with Thornton Wilder on the side."

----Anita Gates, The New York Times.

"If plays were a visual art, "One Flea Spare" would be a baroque oil painting, while "The Trestle At Pope Lick Creek" would be a 1930s American photograph with contrasting lights and shadows and its direct, unsentimental and uncensored gaze. This must be how it felt when people saw "A Streetcar Named Desire" for the first time. A new level of sexual honesty with a fresh mature voice."

----Judith Egerton, Louisville Courier Journal
