Dramatic Comedy / 3m, 2f / Simple Sets The play is based on the
life of Saul Alinsky, who, starting out from Chicago's mean
streets, became a master organizer in American cities from the
'30's through the '60's. With his imaginative techniques, colorful
language, and wild humor, Alinsky taught communities how to win
over an indifferent "establishment" and resurrect themselves. His
ideas are still a force today. We see Alinsky on the road in 1972,
at the end of his career and exhausted after an off-day, weighing
the worth of all his efforts. Alone in his motel room, he conjures
up the trials and triumphs of past campaigns-in urban ghettos,
middle-class neighborhoods, and colleges. He relives encounters
with Al Capone, Mayor Daley, Marshall Field, Senator Joe McCarthy,
Albert Einstein, Catholic bishops, and Vietnam vets. He revives his
passion for democracy that enabled him time and again to succeed
against the odds. The next day, rejuvenated, Alinsky sets out on
what will be his final campaign for a "newer world." Advocating the
simplest of means to effect change, he prevails on his audience to
find within their everyday lives the tools to rebuild their
communities and secure "something of what we are all looking
for-laughter, beauty, love, and the chance to create."
