ELEANOR ABSOLUTE

What would you do if you were in charge of someone else's secrets? What if that someone else happened to be one of the most famous women in American history? On a fated night in 1968, a journalist named Lorena Hickok is faced with the prospect of revealing her romantic relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt. What unfolds between Lorena and an imposing young archivist is not just a journey into a love story, but a bitter battle about who gets to write the future. ELEANOR ABSOLUTE, a drama based on real people and events, is a play about the people on the fringes of history, women thriving in the face of national crisis, and the kind of love that gives life meaning.

ELEANOR ABSOLUTE is a two-act drama.
