In Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, Tony and Academy Award-winner Ellen Burstyn stars as 99-year-old Lucy Marsden, a masterful storyteller with a caustic tongue who is determined to tell all about her life--especially her marriage at age 15 to a grizzled 50-year-old Civil War veteran. Spanning a century, from the antebellum South into the present day, this stage adaptation of Allan Gurganus' best-selling novel is a funny, spirited play about a remarkable woman's triumphant life story.
