Pickle Hill

PICKLE HILL was first performed in the theatre at Mackinac Island, Michigan, on Dr. Frank Buchman's eighty-first birthday, 4 June, 1959.

The setting of the play is State College, Pennsylvania, fifty years ago. It was at 'Penn State' that Frank Buchman made what he describes as his first 'laboratory experiment' in remaking men. The results of it are seen today in the world-wide impact of Moral Re-Armament upon the lives of nations.

The characters in Pickle Hill are all real people, including Bill Pickle, the bootlegger, 'strong, stockily built, with a furious walrus moustache and the looks of a roaring pirate', as Frank Buchman once described him. The incidents and conversations in the play actually happened. It is a true story.
