UNCLE TOM'S CABIN NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW

Show	Did He Like It?*		Synopsis
			The harrowing flight of Eliza’s family from Kentucky to Canada, pursued by bounty hunters. Meanwhile, “Uncle” Tom saves another family through his Christian virtue, only to be sacrificed to the merciless Simon Legree. A thrilling narrative, a touching portrait of sacrifice...and the source of enduring characters and charicatures owned and disowned by later generations.
