Mrs. John Marsh : The World Knew Her As Margaret Mitchell

 Camp first collaborated with me on the play for three readings at The Players Club and The Metropolitan Club in New York, where actress and play received standing ovations and high praise. Camp is preparing for the Charleston performances under the direction of Cailin Heffernan, who has directed a number of plays with strong female characters in New York and whose productions have been nominated for NYIT Awards. Ms. Heffernan has directed for regional theater, Off-Broadway and the New York Musical Theater Festival, New York Fringe Festival, Midtown International Theater Festival and Samuel French Festival.”

Gone With The Wind was a global hit and popular in post-WWII Europe as a symbol of survival. Kinga Gruszecka enjoyed an Atlanta performance of Mrs. John Marsh – The World Knew Her as Margaret Mitchell. Kinga read GWTW in high school and has seen the movie. She is in Georgia as a Georgia Rotary GRSP student, spending a year at Southern Polytechnical University hosted by the Rotary clubs of Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, and Windward. She especially enjoyed the portion of the play which mentioned the care packages Margaret Mitchell sent to fans in countries like Poland during WW II.
