Martha Mitchell Calling at Shakespeare & Company

Portrayed with humor, candor and disarming pathos, this riveting work re-examines the life and legacy of Martha Mitchell. Outrageous, flamboyant, courageous and the life of the party, she ultimately played the pivotal role in the downfall of Nixons Presidency. A southern debutante who dreamt of fame, her marriage to John Mitchell was a love story come true -- until she discovered the Watergate conspiracy and had to choose between patriotism and personal happiness. The personal cost was tragic and she faded away to a forgotten end. Join Martha as she brings us back to the era of the secrets of H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and her husband, Attorney General John Mitchell, who subverted the law and put our liberty in jeopardy. Witness the truth as seen through Marthas eyes and told through the voice of the woman who blew the whistle on the conspiracies going on in the shadows of the Nixon White House. Is today yesterday?
