The six-actor play is inspired by real events that touch on Civil Rights and censorship issues in the Deep South. By Spring 2019, the highly theatrical play will have been produced in at least 24 cities since its premiere, introducing the world to the little-known true story of a librarian named Emily Reed, who was persecuted by politicians for protecting a children’s picture book, in the Jim Crow South.
