FDR, An Inspirational Story, Inside Uncle Rosys White House:
|
Description:
This play tells the inspirational story of a remarkable and singular American. The only four-term President and the only President unable to walk without assistance, Franklin Roosevelt faced some extraordinary challenges both as President and in his personal life with great courage, vision, and perseverance. Uncle Rosys White House recounts his story with clarity, humor and compassion. The play reflects on FDRs privileged youth, old classmates who felt he betrayed his class by helping the poor and destitute, and the impact of polio on his personality and presidency. FDR speaks to the audience, confiding anecdotes and personal opinions never before dramatized. At other times, FDR converses candidly with unseen colleagues such as Louie Howe and Winston Churchill. At other moments, FDR is at faux microphones, delivering excerpts of inaugural addresses, fire-side chats, and key speeches. FDR was devoted to the development of Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation.
