I have been wanting to read the original Chicago script for decades-and I can now say that I have! This edition of the script also included Ms. Watkins' original articles from the actual trials that inspired her play. The play itself, reads as brilliantly in 2018 as it was intended in the 1920s, and it's sad to admit that when it was adapted into a musical in 1975 and revived in 1996, nothing in the script or in society has changed!
