Carla was with the partisans during World War II. Antonia, her daughter, survived with her. Olivia, Antonia's daughter, tries to survive them both. Carla Cooks the War is a non-traditional play about heroism, betrayals, the costs of surviving a war, gnocchi, and the ephemeral nature of truth. Winner of the $10,000 William Saroyan Human Rights/Social Justice Award in Playwriting.
