"Every student in America needs to learn about Mother Jones, particularly because of her role in bringing an end to child labor. This outstanding play is the ideal teaching tool to deliver her story." -- Angelica Santomauro, Director of American Labor Museum.
"Enjoyed it very much. Moving. I even cried --- I liked the combination of mandolin and piano" --Isabel Goldstein, member of NYC Labor Chorus.
"Wonderful, Inspiring, Entertaining, and Educational. We need more performances!" Carl S.
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones was the most remarkable woman organizer/agitator in the American labor movement.
"Pray for the dead, fight like hell for the living," she said. ...She was born in Ireland in 1830; taught school; married; lost husband and children; made dresses before becoming an organizer of coal miners at the age of 50. They called her "The Miner''s Angel." Jailed in Colorado during the Ludlow Massacre. Led a march of factory children from Philadelphia to NYC to petition President Roosevelt to stop child labor... Jailed in West Virginia at age 83; she emerged to fill Carnegie Hall!!!
You will find all of this and more in the Libretto, ($12.95); and in the new CD: WHOLLY MOTHER JONES ($12.95).
