In 1916, Julie Rutherford’s carefully ordered world has suddenly fallen apart. A conventional New York socialite, she now begins the four-day train journey to the Pacific coast.
Experience an actively staged reading of Rachel Crothers’ rarely performed play A Little Journey in ESP’s new theatre space at 50 Citizen’s Way.
Desperate and alone, Julie must travel west to live with relatives who don’t want her. On the way, she’ll share a sleeper car with the breadth and depth of American society, and perhaps learn to carve out an identity of her own.
As she softens to her new acquaintances, she finds new attachments, new optimism and a chance at romance.
After a long hiatus, the Forgotten Female Playwrights series returns with Crothers’ glowingly sentimental 1918 Broadway play.
‘All aboard!’
