This exciting production, recorded before a live audience, dramatizes the WASHINGTON POST's struggle with the Nixon administration over the publication of the Pentagon Papers. Much of the dialogue is lifted straight from the historical record. Whether or not this is accurate history, it certainly makes excellent theater, reminiscent of the agitprop (agitation/propaganda) and Living Newspaper plays of the Depression. John Rubenstein has directed his fine ensemble to play broadly and to maintain that thrill of immediacy that surely informed the actions of the actual participants. Present, too, is the humor, intentional and otherwise, that forms an important part of the story, none of it lost on a sharp and enthusiastic house. A riveting subject is given its due.

"A cantankerous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve ... the right of the People to know." With these words, a federal judge hands a momentous victory to the American press in 1971. When the Washington Post decides to publish the infamous Pentagon Papers detailing U.S. involvement in Vietnam, the Nixon Administration will stop at nothing to suppress it. This riveting docudrama follows the intrepid Post reporters as they struggle to balance free speech and national security. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
