    A dramatic performance which tells the true story of George and Ruth Watt, newlyweds separated by war. The story is told in their words, adapted from letters they wrote to each other while George served as a volunteer in the Lincoln Battalion. The performance, directed by Katie Schmidt Feder, includes a singer/guitarist who reveals the cultural context of the time with songs of the Spanish Civil War.

    This project was made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Westchester.
