Hell Hole: A Love Story brings part of the extraordinary story of Dorothy Day to life. Adapted from an original play by Jo Kadlecek and directed by Nicholas Papademetriou this is the opening play of Joining the Dots Theatre Company s 2021 season.
It is the true love story of American Catholic Activist Dorothy Day. Based in NYC in the1920 s, a series of defining events - including her involvement with Eugene O Neill, some jailtime and her wild love affair - shockingly lead her, a young socialist reporter to a choice that changed her life and consequently the world, no less. Not long after the period that this play looks at, Dorothy Day co-founded the Catholic Worker Hospitality House movement, which continues to this day around the world. Her incredible work for social justice even brought her to Sydney in 1970 where she spoke against the Vietnam War.
