Wind In The Field

Synopsis:
Set in Georgia in the 1950s, Wind in the Field tells the story of Milton Millard, a successful but unhappily married white man who is devoted like a son to Ruthie Mimms, a seventy-five-year-old black woman, a still-practicing midwife/abortionist whom Milton has known since he was a child. Milton and his wife, Dolores, have been married for some forty years. Theirs is a barren marriage, devoid of passion, shrouded in near-silence and disappointments. Throughout their childless marriage Milton has kept a secret of a child he fathered in his youth, a child aborted (by Ruthie); a child which Milton buried with his own hands. The play opens forty years later when Milton´s world begins to unravel as his unstable wife, pressuring mistress, possessive mother-figure, the mother of his long-ago aborted child, and his own sense of guilt and parental longing force him to confront truths too unbearable to name.
