It's Harlem in the spring of 1943. Elizabeth and Quilly are sisters of a “mature” age sharing their quiet lives together, but when they take in Husband Witherspoon, a handsome young boarder, their entire world changes abruptly. Husband, fresh from down South and adjusting to life in the big city, is on a desperate search for his missing girlfriend, but ends up finding love in the most unlikely of places—with Elizabeth, who some have been calling an “Old Settler” (a 1940’s term for an older single woman with no prospects for marriage). Told with heartwarming sincerity, humor and a touch of poetry, The Old Settler paints a poignant picture of two women testing the bonds of sisterhood and finding the strength and forgiveness only family can offer.

"Redwood's gentle, sweet-natured comedy about life in Harlem in 1943. It's a play that chooses to remember the good without the bad, being about the relationship of two aging, church-going sisters…and what happens when a handsome young fellow, newly arrived from the Deep South, rents a room in the apartment they share…For all of its decent sentiments, THE OLD SETTLER avoids sentimentality. It has the authenticity and lack of pretense of an Early American sampler." — NY Times.
