Red Hot Patriot
by Margaret Engel, Allison Engel

"A memorable portrait of a crusading journalist who broke gender barriers to establish herself as one of the nation's most influential and compassionate political columnists."

— Theatermania

"It's a very interesting piece of work, in that it encompasses the whole scope of her life. You get her history, you get her politics, you get a taste of her relationships (the most important of which was her antagonistic one with her father). You follow her all the way to the end of her life in this play. My hope – the way I feel about it as an actor – is that you're really sad when it comes to an end. You think about the political scene today and it would have been great fun to watch what she would would have done... I think that there are some beautiful things in this piece about encouraging people to realize that no matter what you do in life, you have another job, which is being a citizen!"
