Jim Loucks

The Biscuiteater

Drawing on his Southern childhood, Jim Loucks tells the story of a small-town policeman, based loosely on his Granddaddy, who is haunted by his shooting of a man in the line of duty. As he nears the end of his life, he seeks redemption through teaching his grandson to respect life and to respect himself. A rollicking, passionate show of storytelling and music in the American South, The Biscuiteater is a powerful piece about guns, death, and dignity.
