Written by award-winning playwright Jonathan Turner Smith, Eugene Debs and the 1894 Pullman Strike Play is a must-read for anyone interested in labor history, American history, or simply great theater.

A Gripping Tale of Labor vs. Capital

The play tells the story of the strike from the perspectives of both the workers and the company. We see the workers' struggles firsthand, as they endure long hours, low pay, and dangerous working conditions. We also see the company's ruthless determination to break the strike, no matter the cost.

At the heart of the play is the conflict between Eugene Debs and George Pullman. Debs, a charismatic labor leader, believes that the workers deserve a fair share of the profits they help create. Pullman, on the other hand, is a ruthless businessman who believes that the workers are nothing more than a commodity.

A Call to Action

Eugene Debs and the 1894 Pullman Strike Play is more than just a historical drama. It is also a call to action. The play reminds us of the importance of fighting for our rights, and of the power of solidarity.

In the words of Eugene Debs, "The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life."
