Sisters, Ruby and Millie have always been extremely close—from Millie caring for Ruby during the strain of WW2, to Ruby watching out for Millie’s bad knees, now that they are in their 60s. Neither one can imagine life without the other by her side. But for the first time, they struggle with decisions that may, for the first time, take them far away from each other.

This dramatic/comedic play has a running time of around 10-15 minutes, and is for 2 female actors, 50s-70s.

Ruby and Millie & The Old Chemical Plant stands alone as its own short piece, but was originally written for the full-length play, The Victory Garden Plays, and is the 7th and final movement in that play.
