Oakwood Cemetery has fascinated playwright Ian Finley since he first moved to Raleigh five years ago. Its bucolic setting in the middle of the city lured him, and then he discovered the stories of those buried there. This weekend, Burning Coal Theatre Co. presents the fifth in Finley's cycle of plays based on the lives of Oakwood's dead. He joins Frank Stasio to talk about the new work, which highlights the accomplishments of Raleigh's educators.
