TRUMBO
Red, White and Blacklisted
"Thrilling, ferocious and hilarious."
- The New York Times
by Christopher Trumbo
directed by Louis Contey
starring Tony Award nominee
Howard Witt with TimeLine Company member David Parkes
TRUMBO is based on the letters of Dalton Trumbo, the legendary screenwriter who stood up to the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947 and was subsequently jailed and blacklisted as one of the “Hollywood Ten.” Through his brilliant and razor-sharp letters to friends, former friends and family, Trumbo is a fascinating and often spellbinding look at how the author of Spartacus, Roman Holiday and Exodus took on Congress, Hollywood and the Red Scare — and won.
“Positively sizzles with wit … sweet, sad and ultimately uplifting, Trumbo is a great history lesson and a reminder that, many years ago, people wrote letters, and, on occasion, the craft of those letters ascended to art.”. ” — Variety |
