The Mill Project
women, work & resistance
|
Historic Northampton is pleased to present The Mill Project: women, work and resistance, a play with music by TheatreTruck, originally performed in 2017 and updated to reflect new scholarship.
The Mill Project remembers and embodies women's experiences of work and resistance in the textile mills of nineteenth-century New England through a performance-collage drawn from letters, newspapers, pamphlets and etiquette books. Woven into a tapestry of primary source text, original music and movement, the play stages the mill operatives' lived experiences and the rhetoric of womanhood, independence, enslavement, and abolition that surrounded them.
