A special presentation to benefit Manbites Dog Theater

OLDEST LIVING CONFEDERATE WIDOW:
HER CONFESSION
by Allan Gurganus and Jane Holding
based on the novel by Allan Gurganus
featuring Jane Holding as Lucy Marsden
Directed by Katja Hill

To celebrate publication of their script by Samuel French, Jane Holding and Allan Gurganus present OLDEST LIVING CONFEDERATE WIDOW: HER CONFESSION, for two performances only, as a special benefit for Manbites Dog Theater.

"She who laughs, lasts."
Meet Lucy Marsden, 99 years old, the widow of the American Civil War’s last surviving soldier. An unrepentant child bride and the mother of his nine children, she now lives to tell. And tell. And tell!
A remarkable woman recounts her life story, in this harrowing and hilarious comedy about wars, both Civil and domestic. Based on the classic best-selling novel, Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All by Allan Gurganus.
