Join us in the Erin Room at the Irish American Heritage Center for “A Table for Two at the Dill Pickle,” a one act play by Larry Kirwin.
This new play imagines a delightful and powerful conversation between two early twentieth century labor icons: Mary Harris “Mother” Jones, the “most dangerous woman in America” and Big Jim Larkin, the radical Irish Exile, found of the Irish Transport & General Workers’ Union. The two meet at the Dill Pickle, at the time Chicago’s bohemian and labor hangout near Bughouse Square and the Newberry Library.
Directed by Kay Martinovich
