INQUISITIONS (and Other Un-American Activities)

A radio drama on dissent and its enemies 

Listen to an excerpt at http://www.squeakywheel.net/inquisitions.html

Written by Greg Guma, directed by Bill Boardman, and co-produced by Toward 
Freedom and Catalyst Theatre Company 

With the interrogation of activist Lucy Parsons during the 1919 Palmer raids 
as its framework, "Inquisitions (and Other Un-American Activities)" explores 
timely themes through a dramatic recreation of the movement for an eight-hour 
workday, the Haymarket bombing, and hanging of four activists. Featuring a 
20-person cast, it was recorded in May, 2003 at City Hall in Burlington, Vermont, 
on the 117th anniversary of the infamous 1886 bombing. 

In this era of "national security" and threatened civil liberties, 
INQUISITIONS... illuminates the past while raising thorny questions about the threats to 
freedom when dissent is considered a crime. According to a review by David 
Warner in the Vermont weekly, Seven Days, this original new play is "inarguably 
timely now, as the contradictory demands of national security and civil 
liberties are once more at odds."
