WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Eleanor: Her Secret Journey is a poignant and thoughtful one-woman play about Eleanor Roosevelt. This intimate portrait of the First Lady reveals her private struggles and offers a distinctly feminine look at politics, power, and war. She and her husband changed America forever.

What's meant to be a superficially feminist foray which, with its focus on passivity and victimhood, ultimately isn't any such thing.
Lerman originally designed the one-woman, 75-minute show for Jean Stapleton, who first portrayed Mrs. Roosevelt in a 1982 teleplay which Lerman co-scripted, Eleanor, First Lady of the World. The mantle now falls to skilled Elizabeth Norment, who gets the patricia[...]
