Kathleen Turner in Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins

Full Price:
$67.00 - $87.00
Our Price:
$34.50 - $44.50

The Geffen Playhouse presents the story of Molly Ivins, the outspoken sharp-witted Texas reporter whose liberal journalism brought her national fame and a job at The New York Times, where she wrote Elvis Presley's obituary. Two-time Tony and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner plays the fiery redhead, a self-proclaimed "pain in the ass to whatever powers come to be." Though The New York Times had hired Ivins to bring life to its staid writing style, her political edginess and controversial social commentary eventually proved to be too much, and Ivins moved on to Texas papers that embraced her sharp-tongued humor. This acclaimed show captures Ivins' unique character using personal anecdotes and her colorful take on national politics. Learn More

Christine Lahti is always wonderful, but her character's actions didn't ring true for me.

More Information About Third

Description

As a professor at one of New England’s most prestigious universities, Laurie Jameson (Christine Lahti) has seen her share of young, entitled athletes. So when Woodson Bull III approaches her regarding conflicts due to his sports schedule, she assumes she has him pegged. To her shock, "Third" (as he is known) turns in a paper on King Lear that is nothing short of literary genius. Her prejudices lead her to pursue a case of plagiarism, and what she discovers is that his "third generation" life of privilege is far less blinding than her so-called liberal ideals.

This production marks the West Coast premiere.

Directed by Maria Mileaf
