A Dangerous Personality July 10, 2008

Russian-born spiritualist and philosopher Helena Blavatsky lived everywhere from London to India to Hell's Kitchen and was (and still is) one of the most controversial figures in world religion. With her colleague, Henry Steele Olcott, she created Theosophy -- the science of religion, The Secret Doctrine -- Christ without the Church. Her ideas are as timely and thought-provoking now as then. Sallie Bingham's new play brings this extraordinary woman's story to the stage.
