\"Respectfully, Yours, Julia Sand" is a brisk-paced, two-act drama - funny in parts, heartfelt in others, and even tragic in some - about hope and redemption - and specifically, the hope and redemption of the unlikeliest people from the unlikeliest sources. Set in 1880's America, it centers on Chester Alan Arthur, who has just been elected Vice-President of the United States. A creature of the New York political machine and a participant in the rankest corruption - and a devotee of soirees above all - Arthur is content to remain in the largely ceremonial role - until, that is, the actual President is shot and killed. Propelled into history, Arthur must choose between feeding the corrupt impulses of his friends and doing what is right for the country. He waffles, he wavers - and then suddenly he receives an inspiring letter from a mysterious woman who gives him the courage to stand up for himself and for what he knows is right.
