description: This is the behind-the-scenes story of how an unknown actor/author (Laurie James) in mid-life made a dream come true and staged an original solo drama of a forgotten woman (Margaret Fuller) at Harvard and throughout the world. This covers how Laurie James "discovered" Margaret Fuller, made her her mentor, how she learned to research, write a one-woman show, fledgling attempts at staging it, how she "got to Harvard", won grants and toured throughout the world to critical acclaim. It covers adventures in getting streets and plaques named after Fuller, plus many other events, and how James was driven to write and publish her books to become one of the foremost scholars on Fuller, devoting a major part of her life to her work. Photo section including never-before-seen pictures of Buckminster Fuller, grand nephew of Margaret Fuller. General interest. Adult level. High interest for actors seeking to launch their own one-person shows.
