In April the FreshWorks series returns with Calumnies by Ellen Margolis. We go back in time to explore a fascinating story.

Kentucky, 1825: Old-world society meets wild western free-for-all. The only thing rougher than the politics are the love affairs. A tale of sex, manipulation, and revenge, based on the most notorious murder of the time.

Ellen Margolis is a founding member of Playwrights West. Her plays have been seen at ToyBox Theatre, Stageworks/Hudson, Theatre Limina, Vital Theatre, and in the New York International Fringe Festival. Her short play A Little Chatter, commissioned and produced by Mile Square Theatre, is published by Playscripts, Inc.

The cast will include Jerry Bell, Tony Cull, Tim Hill, Sarah McGregor, and Renee White.
