The Agitators tells the story of sometimes-difficult friendship between Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony. Both wanted equality; on occasion their work pitted themselves against each other.
The production at Geva involves only two cast members, and tracks their remarkable 45-year relationship. It's a history lesson that feels more important than ever today. Our guests:
- Jenni Werner, literary director and resident dramaturg for Geva Theatre Center
- Deborah Hughes, president and CEO of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House
- Madeleine Lambert, actor who plays Susan B. Anthony in The Agitators
- Cedric Mays, actor who plays Frederick Douglass in The Agitators
