Additional Details

This overtly political play was produced by the Yenan Theater Workshop, set among workers at a General Motors plant. The pamphlet includes the full script, background material, and reproductions of 3 photographs. The accompanying handbill lists the cast and performance dates at the Ladies Fort in Manhattan for a 3-week run, 18 May to 9 June (apparently in 1979). Both feature the same illustration of Uncle Sam wearing a Lone Ranger mask.
