A People's History

Seattle Repertory Theatre
155 Mercer Street Seattle

There's a famous saying: "History is written by the victors." Howard Zinn changed that when he published his landmark A People's History of the United States and set off a "quiet revolution." Now, acclaimed monologist Mike Daisey, whom The New York Times called "one of the finest solo performers of his generation," picks up where Zinn left off, bringing his trademark blend of the personal and historical to bear in exploring the side of American history they don't teach you in school. From Columbus to today's explosive political climate, Daisey explores the history of those fighting to make America live up to its ideals, and the times when we've fallen sadly short.
