Review: THE COVER OF LIFE at The Guild Hall Players
by Paula Makar
- Jun 5, 2025
The Cover of Life, by R.T. Robinson, is based on his family’s true story about three women and their struggle for self-worth in rural Louisiana in 1943. Tood, Weetsie and Sybill each married a Cliffert brother who are engaged in World War II. A local reporter with the Louisiana Times Picayune writes story about these young wives, which piques the interest of Life Magazine’s Henry Luce. Luce assigns Kate Miller to the story, who has been covering the war in Europe. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women to cover their life while the men are away, and unexpectedly explores the reality of the women as they struggle to find their own identity. The piece is so well written, with complex characters working through intricate relationships, delicious subtext, prose filled with images and powerful emotions, strong rhythm, and subtle humor.

City Theatre’s production of The Cover of Life arrives just in time for Women’s History Month. A heartfelt story that lifts the veil on the lives of women whose stories have long gone untold: the wives and mothers who held their homes together during WWII. Worth a trip to the East Side next weekend!
