Laural Meade Harrison Otis............................................................................Serita Robinson* In early September we began rehearsal with some source materials and a few bigpicture ideas. I knew I wanted to tell the story of the bombing of the Times and that I wanted to structure it as a lecturedemo, but we had no script – only history and the research books to guide the way. A few weeks into our development process, the Occupy Wall Street movement began. It has been especially eerie to hear the same ideas echoed in both movements – 100 years apart. But one could argue that the separation of wealth has existed, in some form, in our country from its inception. The difference is in the extremes; a further difference lies in the type of action people have taken in response. The Occupy movement served as an inspiration for me as we continued to take our own action in creating this piece. I hope it compels you to consider the power dynamics at play then and now, and to reflect not just on the choices people make but why they make them. Much credit is due to our primary research sources: The People v. Clarence Darrow by Geoffrey Cowan, Dynamite: the Story of Class Violence in America by Louis Adamic, American Lightning by Howard Blum and The Hairy Ape by Eugene O’Neill. Thank you to the acting ensemble for their insights, creativity and patience and to my colleagues in the Department of Theater who have been so generous with their time and talents. And finally thanks to you for receiving this workinprogress in a spirit of discovery.
