Journalist Dick Hunter sets out to document the slums of 1890's New York where he discovers harrowing conditions of poverty and abuse.
Neal Bell's play RAGGED DICK is a lurid, poetic and often fascinating study of sex, politics and poverty.
...Bell's landscape painting of urban poverty does not take the form of any ordinary docudrama. Rather, it offers a caustic, stylized impressionistic vision--a kind of film noir for the pre-ragtime era reminiscent of novelist E L Doctorow's work...
In RAGGED DICK, Bell looks straight in the eye of everything that can breed in a slum: venereal disease, ravaged babies, corrupt and brutal cops, child abuse, warped sex and shattered souls of all descriptions. And he describes it all in startlingly original terms.
