Art + Invention Speaker Series (3):
RFK: The Journey to Justice
L.A. Theatre Works Cast with Mark Gonnerman
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 | 7:30pm | Piggot Theater | Free and Open to All. Limited seating: arrive early.
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.”
