Journalist Dick Hunter sets out to document the slums of 1890’s New York where he discovers harrowing conditions of poverty and abuse. “Neal Bell’s play RAGGED DICK is a lurid, poetic and often fascinating study of sex, politics and poverty. …Bell’s landscape painting of urban poverty does not take the form of any ordinary docudrama. Rather, it offers a caustic, stylized impressionistic vision—a kind of film noir for the pre-ragtime era reminiscent of novelist E L Doctorow’s work… In RAGGED DICK, Bell looks straight in the eye of everything that can breed in a slum: venereal disease, ravaged babies, corrupt and brutal cops, child abuse, warped sex and shattered souls of all descriptions. And he describes it all in startlingly original terms.”Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
