Show Notes
On a drizzly morning in July 1915, thousands of people watched the S.S. Eastland turn over in the Chicago River while tied to the Clarke Street dock. 844 passengers, including 21entire families, died in less than 20 minutes in the middle of the fourth-largest city in the United States. Playwright Jocelyn Clarke is here to tell us the story which is portrayed in a new play. Eastland previews in the Samuel Beckett Theatre on 30th August.
