Gary L. Anderson's NAKED DARROW to Play Drilling Company, 6/5-30

'Naked Darrow,' written and performed by Gary L. Anderson, looks at America's most hated and revered attorney, Clarence Darrow, as his great mind slips away. The play, based on the most current and intimate details of Darrow's private life, is a new and revelatory portrait of the man, not the legend. It presents an end-of-life scenario that will bring a shock of recognition to audiences who have, or may have imagined, their own struggle to face aging and to leave a legacy that may endure. River District Theatre presents the play's first full production June 5 to 30 at The Drilling Company Theatre, 236 West 78th Street, 3 fl. (more...)
