My Antonia
by Charles Jones, Willa Cather
Synopsis
Drama / 11m, 7f, 7 children / Unit set This faithful adaptation brings the wonderful romantic novel's profoundly human characters and its expansive view of 19th century American frontier life vibrantly to the stage.
The play celebrates Antonia's story and her extraordinary delight in the happenings of daily life.
It moves from the raw hardships of her immigrant family's first year as settlers on the plains through her joyful and rebellious youth to her fulfillment as a farm wife and mother.
