Lillian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
The multimedia, one-man show From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks is a searing portrayal of Harry Bridges, one of the most important labor leaders of the 20th century, as he helped rally dock workers into better conditions and, eventually, the formation of the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union (ILWU). Ian Ruskin helps bring this truly inspiring story to life, using a combination of Bridges’ fiery speeches, the words of his contemporaries, rare labor songs and archival footage. The play has been performed more than 200 times around the world and a film version aired on PBS for more than four years. Explore this colorful, intense slice of history that still resonates to this day through this remarkable one-man show.
