E. Reid Gilbert has been engaged in theatre as a playwriter, performer, mime, choreographer, director of a major center for mime in Spring Green, WI, a student of Kabuki and Indian Kathakali Dance, as well as having written his infamous 100 Limericks for 100 Days of Trump, and multiple books in his octogenarian years. He continues his writing at 88 years of age, with his next book documenting his approach to physical acting and movement for the stage. This collection of nine plays and one screenplay capture his creative prowess in all of its tragi-comic temperament. Here, are stories of race and the south where he grew up as a boy, and the skill of an actor/playwright who has known both sides of theatre, from performing to directing and playwriting -- a lovely summary of his work to date for stage and screen.

Every culture has its own trickster character. The Southern Appalachian Mountain trickster is Jack, whom readers may know from traditional stories like "Jack in the Giant's Newground" and "Jack and the Bean Tree." The stories in Trickster Jack, which focus on the shenanigans of Jack and his older brothers, are actually tall tales emerging from Reid Gilbert's tricky imagination. Set in the Southern Appalachians around the end of the nineteenth century, these tales describe actual activities of the time, such as making a wooden wagon with white oak rounds for wheels, fetching water from wells with windlasses, and using outdoor outhouses.
Trickster Jack introduces those readers from outside the Appalachians to some of the ways and manners of that region, while reacquainting Appalachians themselves with their own heritage. Regardless of where you hail, there is plenty in this whimsical collection to delight and entertain you.
Storyteller, mime, author, and thought leader, E. Reid Gilbert, is at it again, sharing his whimsical yet often thoughtful view of the Trump administration's impactful days. Medicine for our times. Another political analeptic. Insightful curative witticism. With a glance toward the other side of the aisle as well.

Reid Gilbert grew up in the tobacco hills of North Carolina, before pursuing academic studies: Brevard College (AA English) Duke University (BA Sociology) Southern Methodist University (MTh Theology) Union Theological Seminary (STM Religious Drama) University of Wisconsin (PhD Asian Theatre) He then pursued several careers: Methodist and Unitarian Ministry College and University Teaching Mime Performer and Instructor Theatre Actor and Director After retiring from those professional pursuits he started writing: Trickster Jack (Tales of the Appalachian trickster, Jack) Shall We Gather at the River (Romance set in the mountains in the 1870s) What Matters (119 poems) Twelve Houses of My Childhood (Stories of early life) Valley Studio: More Than a Place (Stories of Mime Studies and Performances) Several theatre and Film scripts.
