About This Show
The Great Society is the second installment in Wallace and Wolfe’s Early and Often trilogy. Set in 1964 Chicago, a young idealistic priest goes toe-to-toe with ward boss John Flannery over – of all things – who supplies the folding chairs for the parish Christmas bazaar. These are tumultuous times, as the Northsiders grapple with such issues as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Vatican II and the never-ending rivalry between their beloved Cubbies and White Sox.
