ALBANY — “I Just Stopped By to See the Man” by playwright Stephen Jeffreys, set in a small Mississippi Delta town in 1975, is the story of a famous blues singer who was mistakenly identified as having died in a car crash in the early 1960s — and who has chosen to accept that “fact.”

Jesse Davidson — “The Man” — opts to live the next 15-plus years in total anonymity, allowing the world to assume he is indeed dead. While Davidson has settled into a life of solitude, his daughter, Della, moves back home to escape her own problems.
