Marking seventy-five years since the end of World War II while examining the resonance of that period with our own, four female actors create multiple roles in a lyrical story of intellectuals, artists, and ordinary women who live in extraordinary times. The play begins with the fictionalized portrayals of four true-to-life and under-appreciated individuals from the 1930’s.
