THIS SQUAD OF FIERCE, loving women needs a reboot! Or, as the loving storyteller Ninny might suggest, refry these green tomatoes! Between the beatings onscreen and the shushing offscreen, it’s time to blow the whistle at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Ninny teaches Evelyn to celebrate her most important relationship: with herself, to become her own true friend. TOWANDA! As she learns to love herself, Evelyn falls in love with Idgie and Ruth, the purest love story she has ever known. As pure as honey from an old bee charmer on a perfect summer day. Idgie and Ruth’s love story is built upon Idgie’s abiding sense of justice and intolerance of cruelty and Ruth’s eternal optimism. With a baby to be raised between them, Ruth’s message to Idgie from the Book of Ruth sealed their together forever: “Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.”
