Marietta House Museum is pleased to present A Matter of Worth. Set in 1855, this provocative drama tells the story of Hannah, a 73-year-old enslaved woman about to be sold at auction. As she reflects on her own humanity, Hannah proves to be of greater worth than any monetary value. Washington-native Marcia E. Cole penned this award-winning play after seeing a 19th century advertisement selling a mule for $5 and an elderly woman for $1. Her play gives voice to the women, men, and children who lived in and died in bondage.
