No, I am not trying to insult some of you by suggesting that Stonewall Jackson was really a woman or, more exotically, transgendered. It’s simply the title of playwright John Morogiello’s latest production, which will appear this summer in Pittsburgh. The story is as follows:
Set in the South, the farce is about a man named Paul (Robert Rokicki) from New York who visits the family of his debutante girlfriend, Nancy
(Seana Hollingsworth), for the first time. Nancy’s mother owns a confederate heritage museum where Paul accidentally breaks a priceless
statue of Stonewall Jackson. What follows is a series of cover ups, larger lies, misunderstandings and an exorcism on live television. “There are other colorful characters. Others have secrets. There are a lot of mishaps between all the couples, as well,” says Hollingsworth. In the end, Paul must make a decision between the woman he loves and his personal safety.
That’s pretty funny.
Depends if the woman one loves is the one threatening one’s personal safety, I’d think.
“In the end, Paul must make a decision between the woman he loves and his personal safety.”
Isn’t this always the case?
Strother, — Sounds like this is a must see (LOL). Thanks
I hear there is a scene where several Union reenactors appear with urine stained crotches. Seems the producers know their Civil War history, and the effect Stonewall had on Yankees.
