Ed Simpson's play is an endearing story about what happens when the residents of the small town of Shallowford (based on Lewisville, NC) believe Orson Welles' radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" to be legitimate news. They fall hook, line and sinker, and grab their pitchforks and hunting rifles, and run out to do battle with the invading Martians and save the world. Ed Simpson has a knack for writing plays featuring characters from his native American South.   The resulting comedy of errors results in chaos   erupting: car crashes, fire arms, and an unfortunate cow with Ruthie exclaiming, “In one night I've survived a Martian invasion and become a woman with a past!"
