In 2015, BottledSnail presented a stunning new adaptation of the Tony award winning musical “Parade” at the Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne. Written by the acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry, Parade is the real-life story of Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jewish man who is unfairly tried for the murder of a young girl working in his pencil factory in Georgia in 1913.
Parade explores injustice, prejudice and the struggle for human rights - themes that continue to resonate in contemporary society. Set against the aftermath of the American civil war, Leo’s trial and subsequent lynching tells a remarkable story that speaks to the evils of intolerance and injustice.
