Andrew Moodie’s latest play tells the tale of inventor Elijah McCoy (1843–1929), whose name became a byword for quality, as in “the real McCoy.” The play explains why we’ve never heard of McCoy and reclaims a fascinating man’s life from undeserved obscurity. No one believed a black man could be an engineer; nevertheless, McCoy devised a solution to one of the greatest problems facing steam locomotion.

This is a story of three friends who live in holes but not nice warm ones like you're thinking of. Damp, dirty ones filled with creepy crawlies.

Lessons in history. Lessons in science. Lessons in smells. The ideal combination.
