Born on the Idaho frontier, Florence James was a New York City
suffragette. The first to put Jimmy Cagney on stage, she founded
both the Negro Repertory Theatre and the Seattle Repertory
Playhouse. She worked with Francis Farmer, Paul Robson, and Helen
Hayes, but her views on art and politics and her choice of plays
led to a clash with the Un-American Activities Committee. In the
wake of two Kafkaesque trials, where she condemned her persecutors
as liars, she fled to Canada and kick-started professional theatre
in Saskatchewan, the home to North America's first socialist
government. Vital and inspiring, Florence of America is a story of
one woman speaking truth to power. "An amazing story of
achievement, heartbreak, and endurance...But above all, it is a
moving and powerful cautionary tale of what can happen, at any time
of any age, when, in [Arthur] Miller's words, a whole world begins
to cry 'spirits.'" -Moira Day, Department Head of Drama, University
of Saskatchewan
