The Road to Appomattox at The Colony Theatre

It's unlikely that General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, could ever have imagined that his final actions during the War Between the States would unfold onstage in dramatic counterpoint to the love struggles of a couple 150 years in the future ... but that's precisely what The Road to Appomattox posits. This Colony Theatre Company production cleverly weaves General Lee's retreat at the Battle of Gettysburg with the modern-day challenges of a couple following his trail. In this entertaining and moving drama, both parties -- past and present -- face decisions that will forever choose the fate of a general, a marriage and a nation.
