Plan-B Theatre’s newest production One Big Union highlights Joe Hill, Wobblies
By Les Roka - November 3, 2016145
In the century since Joe Hill, the Swedish immigrant miner, musician and union activist who was executed in Salt Lake City after being wrongfully convicted of murder, there have been only a very few plays about this figure who recently has emerged from the footnotes of history in relevant ways. Last year, John McCutcheon, an American master instrumentalist, songwriter and folk musician who has carried on the traditions of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie for more than 40 years, started performing a one-man show, Joe Hill’s Last Will. The show is a meditation set in the Salt Lake City prison cell the night before Hill’s execution and draws primarily upon his songs.

In 1958, Barrie Stavis’s play The Man Who Never Died was premiered in New York City at the Jan Hus Theatre. Michael Smith, The Village Voice’s theater critic, issued a terse, savage review, calling the production “uniformly inept.” He added: “Investigation in depth is always interesting but the Wobblies [the Industrial Workers of the World or IWW] are here represented as an age-dimmed textbook labor group, and Joe Hill is distinguished only by inarticulate enthusiasm. His sole charm is a kind of supernaivete, which prompts a follower to announce, embarrassingly: ‘There was another organizer; his name was Jesus Christ.’”

I was referring to Pence getting a letter at GHWB’s funeral. Lots of speculation there.

It’s misplaced. This is not only my opinion but Praying Medic’s as well. I’m glad he’s seeing my side of things. Kek!

Nah, Haffast was ironically being ironical and pretending to do the "nuffems habning" whiney dance.

Haffast is solid.

Marxists have saints and martyrs, too, and Joe Hill is one of them. Their veneration of him in song and history is odd considering they are atheists.
