There was a place once called Troublesome, a hill just south of a creek that proved too much trouble for early settlers to cross. Yet bound through strength of will, fellowship, and Christ’s love, a community began to form that would remain closely tied for many years to come. Journey into the flatwoods and farmlands of south Georgia and retrace traditional roots through world folktales, regional lore, and the resonating hum of familiar southern gospel sounds.
Please note that the purchase of this script does not provide performance rights. Licensing rights for performance are currently not available. This show was created as a tribute to the county in which the “fictional” community of Troublesome is set, and so this is where the stories will stay.

Tomas Kyd, the son of the notorious Captain William Kyd, had always had well enough. Yet enough was not at all satisfaction. Enough only stirred within him a desire for more: a desire for love, adventure, and a life of nobility that he felt he too so richly deserved. However, his father's curse, that which he shares with the pirate crew of his father's unfinished voyage, has always kept him from discovering a life he thought worth living. Accompanied by Captain Jamison Hamilton, her daughter, Isobel, and the other members of The Quedagh Merchant crew, Tomas discovers that virtue of heart, the willingness to forgive, and a share of worthy companions much surpass his once sought after wealth.
