The award-winning creative teams behind [Inside] hits The Shaggs, The Brothers Karamazov and Eurydice stage the world premiere of the latest from Jim Leonard (The Diviners). On the eve of The Civil War, sixteen-year-old Martha finds herself pregnant and ostracized. As Martha travels through and fights in the Civil War, she settles on one incontrovertible fact: She will not raise her baby in a blood-soaked, violent country. Martha stays pregnant for over a century, until she arrives in San Francisco in 1967. For a moment Martha thinks she’s landed in heaven, but before she knows it half the world is at war once again. “How can she bring her child into a world like this?”
