One unseasonably warm day in January 1919, the large brown tank at 529 Commercial Street burst. A tidal wave of 2.3 million gallons of molasses tsunami-ed through the streets of Boston's North End, wiping out people, horses, and T stations. 'A Pain in the Molasses' by Jael Whitney tells the fascinating tale of Boston's stickiest disaster. Full of puppets, music, dance, and historical accuracy, Fork & Shoe's newest production is a cautionary tale about corporate greed and a testament to the power of the people. The show opens with a special performance from the Gosh Darn Brass Band.
