MAIN AMAZON DESCRIPTION BLOOD ON THE DOGWOOD: The Complete Screenplay & Stage Play A Southern Gothic Revenge Tragedy Inspired by ""The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia"" Georgia, 1934. She killed to save her brother. They hanged him anyway. Now she's coming for them all. When 24-year-old Jessie Stubbins kills a man in self-defense, she sets in motion a brutal chain of events that will destroy her family and transform her into an avenging angel. Her brother Ray takes the fall for murders she committed to protect him, and a corrupt sheriff and vindictive judge ensure Ray dies in the electric chair for crimes he didn't commit. But debts don't die. And Jessie Stubbins always finishes what she starts. This complete collection includes: ✅ Full Feature Film Screenplay (110 pages) - Camera-ready, professionally formatted screenplay suitable for independent production, film school study, or pitch packages ✅ Complete Two-Act Stage Play (95 pages) - Performance-ready theatrical script designed for regional theaters, university drama departments, and community playhouses ✅ Director's Notes for both formats - Detailed guidance on tone, technical requirements, staging, and thematic intent ✅ Character Breakdowns - Complete casting and production information ✅ Loglines & Synopsis - Marketing materials for producers and theaters WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ""Unflinching, brutal, and morally complex. This is Southern noir at its finest."" ""The execution scene in both versions is devastating. I'll never forget the dimming lightbulb."" ""Jessie Stubbins deserves to stand alongside the great tragic antiheroes of American drama."" WHY TWO FORMATS? Each version tells the same powerful story but harnesses the unique strengths of its medium: THE SCREENPLAY uses cinematic techniques-close-ups, montage, intercutting-to create visual intimacy and propulsive pacing. Perfect for filmmakers, screenwriting students, and readers who love seeing stories through a camera's eye. THE STAGE PLAY leverages theatrical immediacy-live actors, real-time action, audience proximity-to create raw emotional power. Ideal for theater companies, drama students, and anyone who believes some stories are best told in a room full of strangers breathing the same air. Studying both versions reveals the craft of adaptation: what translates between mediums, what must change, and how form shapes meaning.
