Yesteryear
Eoannou, Stephen G.
Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!
Who was the mind behind The Lone Ranger?
It’s 1930s Buffalo, New York and the Great Depression rages. Playwright Fran Striker needs to write the pilot for a new radio show but, first, he must overcome writer’s block, defeat a magical curse, foil a plot to assassinate FDR, and recover stolen diamond rings belonging to an alcoholic boxing champion.
Who was that masked man? Based on the controversial true-life story of Lone Ranger creator Fran Striker, Yesteryear takes us on a magical journey leading to an icon’s debut, a show that provided hope to Americans during the country’s darkest days.
