“A Table For Two At The Dill Pickle” starring Brigid Gerace as #MotherJones and Will Clinger as Big Jim Larkin. 

This one-act play, by Larry Kirwan, Black 47 musician and playwright (Paradise Square) imagines a witty and powerful conversation between two early twentieth century Irish labor rebels: Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, the most dangerous woman in America and Big Jim Larkin, the radical Irish exile, founder of the Irish Transport & General Workers Union, and a key player in the fight for Irish independence. It is staged at the notorious Dill Pickle, Chicago's bohemian and labor hangout near Bughouse Square & Newberry Library. It takes place in 1919 just as political and labor repression is descending and before Larkin ends up in Sing Sing.
