Description: 'Tradition' is a thought-provoking piece about an actress visiting her parents, and deals with their support for her career and their expectations of her future. Inspired by the suffragist and actress Fola La Follette's passion for acting and written by her husband, George Middleton, it is a quietly moving piece about family life, female aspiration and women's work. 'Tradition' was first performed at the Berkeley Theatre, New York City, in January 1913.
