More Rankins for Congress
Watching good activist theater in the basement of the Culture Project
Sunday, I saw A Single Woman, by Jeanmarie Simpson and Cameron Crain at the Culture Project. Primarily an epistolary drama, A Single Woman tells the story of Jeannette Rankin, the first female congress memeber and the only person to vote against both WWI and WWII, and her life-long commitment to nonviolence and human rights.
The play was surprisingly neither humorless nor heavy-handed - a rarity in activist theater. Ms. Rankin's words, interpreted by the one of the playwrights, are ominously prescient. And there was homemade bread. Delicious.
