Playwright Samuel B. Hunter was never a fundamentalist Christian, but his boyhood experience at a Christian school was the inspiration for his new play, "A Great Wilderness."
Set in Hunter's native Idaho, "A Great Wilderness" is about a man named Walt. He's spent most of his life in a cabin in the woods, where he attempts to counsel gay teenagers out of their homosexuality. Encroaching dementia has forced Walt into retirement, but not before he brings in one last boy to be counseled.
