Two of the 20th century’s most radical activist leaders, Marcus Garvey and Emma Goldman, share stage time in InterAct Theatre Company’s first production of 2017. The feisty world premiere puts the duo in a heated and oftentimes funny head-to-head debate about who has an edge when it comes to shaking up the status quo. They cover everything from race and gender to capitalism and free love. The timing couldn’t be more perfect considering our current political climate. Someone get Trump a ticket.
