A unique, southern-gothic story about an unusual eight-year-old boy fighting to extract some good out of a life of instability. Things That Hang from Trees gives us Jesus on the intercom, a barely-breathing, naked mannequin for a mother, and a Live Oak that traps the local wayward trash, animal, vegetable, and mineral. The Live Oak provides a stage where boys bully boys, men work out their passions (for better and worse), the homeless linger, and the dead reside. --© Official Site [More]

Reviews for Things that Hang from Trees
The causality here is somewhat thin -- any time one story really gets cooking, we're jettisoned to another -- but the ensemble cast does good work, and the location becomes a character unto itself.
Offers a slice of special education-tinged Southern Gothic minus the evocative eccentricity.
