Disappearance of S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald is subject of WSU theater's docudrama

"Ten November,\" a docudrama about the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, is discussed in this article. The play opens Oct. 28 and runs through Nov. 6 at Wayne State University 's Bonstelle Theatre. The Bonstelle production, directed by Lavinia Hart, tells the story with a mix of monologues and short vignettes interspersed with folk songs. \"In one sense it\'s a docudrama because there are a lot of facts presented, but in another sense it\'s a very creative, moving, fictionalized depiction of the event,\" Hart said. \"It culminates in a total effect of being able to step inside the lives of sailors who worked the Great Lakes from the 17th century to the present day.\"
