Martha’s Will
Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
April 14
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theater [Downtown]
Written by Susan and Doug Decatur
In September 1919, wealthy Cincinnatian Martha dies. Her lawyer gathers potential heirs to participate in parlor games reminiscent of the early 20th century. The historical events of the time add layers of intrigue that foreshadow how Martha’s “will” is imposed, showing that things aren’t always as they seem to be.
