Bull in a China Shop

This September, Fortune’s Fool Theatre will shine a light on the revolutionary, real-life romance of Mary Woolley and Jeanette Marks in Bryna Turner’s fast-paced comedy-drama, Bull in a China Shop . Mary Woolley served as the president of Mount Holyoke College from 1900 to 1935. For 35 years, her passionate life partnership with professor (and former student) Jeanette Marks was an "open secret." Together, they led a radical transformation in education, evolving Mount Holyoke from a school for obedient wives into one of the country's foremost centers for women’s science and humanities. "It hasn’t exactly gone unobserved, Madame President, that you climb three flights of stairs every night to kiss Professor Marks goodnight."
