Civil War Through the Eyes of Loudoun County Women
by Meredith Bean McMath
In this unique program, narration
provides a backdrop for dramatic monologues by actors in
period costume.
Excerpted from diaries, letters and other
documents, performers interrupt the narration to tell their
own stories,
representing, among others, a Confederate spy,
a plantation mistress, a slave woman, a Quaker journalist
and
a conflicted housewife.
