Synopsis: | My Willa is a solo play about the life of famous author, Willa Cather. Growing up in a small town in Nebraska in the 1880's, Cather dressed as a man and called herself William. Threatened with expulsion from college for her cross-dressing ways, she reluctantly assumed a female identity and later became a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist. However, her love affairs with women caused her considerable anguish since her sexual orientation was judged harshly by the times in which she lived . | |||||
