Play Title:THE HONEYMOON YEARS OF ELEANOR ROOSEVELT & LORENA HICKOK
Runtime:61-90 minutes
Synopsis:What makes this play unique is that every word in this play is true from Lorena Hickok’s own writings including books that Hickok wrote about Eleanor and material that Hickok donated to the FDR library in Hyde Park, NY that she stipulated to be opened 10 years after her death. This material includes thousands of letters from Eleanor to Hick, an unfinished autobiography, many letters from other people, newspaper clippings, magazine articles, etc. There are more than 20 boxes of material at the library. Conn has been to the library many times perusing all the amazing things that belonged to Lorena Hickok.

The play concentrates on the early years of their relationship. Hickok talks about FDR and his reaction to her relationship with his wife. Other highlights discussed by Hick are what it was like living in the White House, detailed stories about their travels in Canada and San Francisco, the Lindbergh kidnapping, the changes at the White House after Pearl Harbor.

Included in the play are excerpts from letters from Hick to ER and ER to Hick that will definitely confirm the passion, caring, and love that these 2 phenomenal women shared.
