Catherine Trieschmann

Comic drama

3 m., 4 f.

Unit set.

Set at the end of the Civil War in a town with split loyalties, this play weaves humor and mythology into a story about women who must find ways to keep hearth and home together in the absence of "full bodied" men. Focus is on the fracture that occurs in one family when a blind daughter is seduced by a Union raider with extraordinary storytelling abilities, much to the dismay of her staunchly Confederate mother.

Winner of the L. Arnold Weissberger Award.

FEE: $75 per performance.
