Against the backdrop of the dangerous, sweltering Civil War summer of 1863, the Bowery
explodes with racial tension and the City of New York rushes headlong toward the fatal July draft
riots. Moving to the music and rhythms of these dangerous times, a diverse band of characters is
drawn together in a net of intrigue and violence.
Jack Mulcahy leading an Irish Minstrel Troupe, stars opposite his true love, a beautiful Mulatto
girl who whites her face and crosses the ice as Eliza in Uncle Tom’s Cabin. On the blistering
streets outside, corrupt Tammany Hall bosses plot to take advantage of the chaos to enrich
themselves whilst destroying any hopes of escape to a place of freedom and peace for Jack
and his little family. The famous songwriter, Stephen Foster, himself one of THE BANISHED
CHILDREN OF EVE, wends his way through this entrancing drama as he produces the beautiful
melodies which have given the country its lasting evocation of the times.
