There are many plays about Harriet Tubman, but none share her entire life story like a visit with "THE SPIRIT OF HARRIET TUBMAN." Leslie McCurdy invokes the “spirit” of Harriet Tubman as she portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet Tubman’s own.
