Social War Of 1900

Social War of 1900

by Simon Landis

The Social War of 1900 is a play adaptation of Simon Landis' novel of the same name. It depicts a future America rife with moral decay, ruled by corrupt politicians and a secret society called the 'Bloody Conspirators.' Dr. Victor Juno, a naturalist who practices animal magnetism, leads a paramilitary group against this oppressive regime, fueled by his love for Lucinda and his vision of a utopian society. The play is known for its melodramatic dialogue, convoluted plot, and bizarre characters, often considered a product of outsider art. Although the play's quality has been criticized, its unique blend of science fiction, social commentary, and satirical elements continues to intrigue readers and scholars.
