All Groups Play with music Howard Richardson and Ella Gerber Kasakoff 6 m. (1 black), 6 f. plus choral group. Simple or elaborate set. Here is a flamboyant portrait of Victoria Woodhull who ran for office with Frederick Douglass on a platform that included women's suffrage, free love, abortion, birth control, spiritualism, and anarchy. Her affair with Henry Ward Beecher ruined both of their careers. A choral group introduces each scene with songs or hymns of the period. "An interesting play, heightened by poetically couched dialogue and dramatic tension." N.Y. Times . FEE: $75 per performance.
