New Play about Boston’s Female Abolitionists

Come behind-the-scenes with the Associates to find out how Playwright Patrick Gabridge wrote 'A Revelation of Character,' a brand-new play about Lydia Maria Child and Maria Weston Chapman, two formidable female abolitionists, using letters in the Boston Public Library's Anti-Slavery Collection as his primary source of research. A Revelation of Character was commissioned by the Associates of the Boston Public Library as a part of our Pierce Performance Series in partnership with Plays in Place. Come see A Revelation of Character at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square on November 12, 13, and 15! About the Associates' Pierce Performance Series Now in its seventh year, the Associates’ Pierce Performance Series seeks to raise awareness of the Boston Public Library’s Special Collections through free public performances. Past performances have commemorated milestones such as the hundredth anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, and 250th publication anniversary of Phillis Wheatley Peters’ book of poetry, and the legacy of conductor Serge Koussevitzky. Thanks to the Harold Whitworth Pierce Charitable Trust, these performances have brought the Library's historical treasures to life for a broad audience.
