"An insightful, warm-hearted and amusing play which deals with the courtship of George Washington and Martha Custis. Originally written for radio, under a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the stage version offered here, specially prepared by the award-winning author, was selected for inclusion in “Best Short Plays.” “A rare and daring dramatic imagination."
