About “The Virginians”
The Virginians is set in the late Eighteenth Century and follows two twin brothers from the nobility as they navigate their formative years in contrasting ways—one older and melancholy, the other younger and easygoing—while attempting to escape the influence of their domineering dowager mother. The story unfolds between fashionable London and backward Virginia, ultimately portraying both brothers' lives as they reach old age, each feeling equally swindled despite their differing paths.
