The Most Dangerous Woman in America: Machine Guns, Coal Dust & Mother Jones
A virtuoso solo performance by Therese Diekhans, written by Dave Christie, and directed by Carol Roscoe.
"... saddle up for David Christie's smartly-written one woman show about hell-raising Mother Mary Harris Jones. Therese Diekhans' charming, studied performance playfully brings to life fifteen characters, from children mill workers to John D. Rockefeller, as the audience learns the true cost of Big Business cost-cutting in early 20th century mining towns. Mother Jones' rallying speeches on apathy and revolution are particularly poignant amidst contemporary woes, while original music by Jerry Reynolds and clear, active direction by Carol Roscoe maintain an environment of engaging theatricality." Kat Primeau of L.A. Theatre Review (June 2010).
Amy Nicholson of LA Weekly (June 2010) says: "Eighty years after her death, Mother Jones' howl for safe mines and responsible corporations still echoes. Therese Diekhans' hell-raising one-woman show captures the lioness...this is a snapshot of a firebrand and the climate that forged her,... the actress shifts wonderfully between 15 characters..."
"I went to this show today and I was blown away- a historical account that tugs at the heartstrings." Jacquetta Szathmari (NY Writer/Comedienne)
