Based on the true history of “orphan trains” that transported immigrant children (mostly Irish) to homes in the West, this world-premiere play explores the events that led to the sensational (and now-forgotten) “Trial of the Century” custody case that stirred the nation into a frenzied debate about children, law, race, class and religion. Directed by Shariffa Ali, The Copper Children takes a sharp look at the collision of good intentions and despicable behavior, blending humor, tragedy, joy and unsentimental social commentary.

Ben es un padre que ha pasado diez años viviendo en los remotos bosques situados al noroeste del Pacífico criando a sus seis hijos. Sin embargo un día la familia debe abandonar su modo de vida en la naturaleza y volver a la civilización. Asimilar su nueva situación y adaptarse de nuevo a la sociedad moderna no les va a resultar nada sencillo.

A brief glimpse into the modern world of office 'work' where the only escape, at least for Simon, is madness.
