"Big Lake: A Tragedy in Two Parts" by Lynn Riggs is a dramatic play that captures the emotional turmoil of young love set against the backdrop of the woods and a lake in Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, in the year 1906. Written in the late 1920s, this two-part tragedy explores themes of innocence, fear, the wilderness, and the loss of youth. The likely topic revolves around the struggles of two young characters, Lloyd and Betty, against both external threats and their own internal fears as they navigate their complex feelings in a harsh environment. The storyline primarily focuses on Lloyd and Betty, two young individuals who venture into the woods near Big Lake for a picnic. Their innocent outing becomes entangled with darker events as they encounter Butch, a disturbed man hiding from the law after committing murder. As the picnic unfolds, tensions rise, leading to a tragic conclusion that sees innocent lives lost, culminating in a confrontation between youthful aspiration and the harsh realities of life, underscored by the dangers lurking in both the woods and the depths of human nature. The play ultimately presents a poignant commentary on the clash between the idealism of youth and the stark truths of existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
