Part Western, part history lesson, and part musical, this play is at once familiar and full of the unexpected. Syran impressively keeps the narrative accessible and entertaining, while also honing the lens in on the darker class distinctions and impacts on colonialism that marked the time period. I can definitely see this play used as a teaching tool for young audiences, that's also an uplifting story for any fan of workers triumphing over the corrupt and powerful.
