Synopsis: | It centers around Emile Henry, a French anarchist who threw a bomb into a crowded cafe. Shein, at the time, thought it was his best play to date. With the sort of amazing coincidence that sometimes shows up in writers' lives, it was first done on CBC the night of the gala publication party for the Pulp Press book "Class Warfare, Selected Fiction" by his close friend D.M. Fraser. | |||||
