The Old Settler February 19, 2010

Writers' Theatre presents 'The Old Settler,' written by John Henry Redwood and directed by Ron OJ Parson. It's Harlem in the spring of 1943. Elizabeth and Quilly are sisters of a certain age sharing their quiet lives together, but when they take in Husband Witherspoon, a handsome young boarder, their entire world changes abruptly. Husband, fresh from the country and adjusting to life in the big city, is on a desperate search for his missing fiancee, but ends up finding love in the most unlikely of places. Told with heartwarming sincerity, humor and a touch of poetry, 'The Old Settler' paints a poignant picture of two women testing bonds of sisterhood and finding the strength and forgiveness only family can offer.
