ABOUT THE PLAY
A grimy portrait hangs Witness of past & present choices; in the wake of her mother's death, IoniMitchell is drawn to this item of legacy, and discovers it to be the startling image in a family history of complex color, and resonant with ghosts of opportunity..

Reconstruction is this journey; moving between America and France in 2008- It also refracts an America of the 1870's.
