Based on the true history of “orphan trains” that transported immigrant children (mostly Irish) to homes in the West this world-premiere play explores the events that led to the sensational (and now-forgotten) “Trial of the Century” custody case that stirred the nation into a frenzied debate about children law race class and religion. Directed by Shariffa Ali The Copper Children takes a sharp look at the collision of good intentions and despicable behavior blending humor tragedy joy and unsentimental social commentary.
