I'm currently music director for a community theatre production in Clinton Oklahoma, of the musical "Oliver," a sort-of prettified version of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist." That novel deals with the sweatshop culture of mid-19th-century England. The artistic director is very open about seeing the comparison between that society and today's.
So....I've printed off this article, along with a copy of a photo of some shivering Pakistani children [who were sold as household help to wealthy Pakistani families], attempting to warm themselves by an outdoor fire (SOJOURNERS, Oct. 2010).
These will post in our Green Room.
