Tomorrow is Another Day is a fictional exploration of the day
before the Atlanta premiere of the movie Gone
With the Wind. Addae Moon wrote the
one-act play, which made its debut on March 27th at Atlanta History
Center. Moon is the director of museum
theater at Atlanta History Center, which launched the Meet the Past initiative about four years ago to use museum theater
as an emotional way of connecting patrons to exhibits and educational
experiences.
Tomorrow Is Another Day, set in Mitchell’s home, imagines a
conversation between Mitchell, her husband, John Marsh, and their maid, Jessie,
who Moon said “has some issues” about the book.
After several gulps of Georgia moonshine Jessie
tells Margaret Mitchell what she really thinks about the novel. In Jessie’s words, “It’s not the characters I
have problems with. It’s the narrator.
This thought-provoking play encourages
audiences to think about Margaret Mitchell in new ways.
