L.A. Theatre Works, the acclaimed radio theater company, performs RFK: A Journey to Justice, a new radio docudrama co-commissioned by Lively Arts, charting Robert F. Kennedy’s personal and political journey at the cusp of the Civil Rights Movement. Kennedy, who was assassinated in June 1968, just months after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a complex and evolving relationship with King and the Movement, gradually moving from mutual suspicion to shared aspirations and strategic alliances. From wiretapping to voting rights, race relations, and wartime politics, the themes underlying RFK’s tenure as Attorney General (in the Johnson administration) and later as US Senator and presidential candidate still resonate more than forty years later. L.A. Theatre Works productions feature a first-rate cast and live sound effects, and are recorded live for radio broadcast, as in the “Golden Age of Radio.” Related Themes: civil rights, Martin Luther King, Robert F.
