Daughters of the Rebellion (formerly titled Tolstoy's Daughters)

Recommended by

  • Marco Antonio Rodriguez: Daughters of the Rebellion (formerly titled Tolstoy's Daughters)

    A brilliant tale of two sisters at odds with each other, their families and their country! Ms. Del Carmen masterfully interweaves historical fiction with a strong narrative and characters that leap from the page with passion, humanity and comedy! The play moves at a brisk pace that keeps you guessing until the end. I particularly enjoyed the strength and conviction of the two female leads. This play was given an honorable mention on the Kilroy list and now I know why!
