STRAIGHT LINE CRAZY
Ralph Fiennes is Robert Moses in a new play by David Hare
PRESENTED BY THE SHED AND LONDON THEATRE COMPANY
Directed by Nicholas Hytner and Jamie Armitage
Thursday, DECEMBER 1 @ 7:00PM
Saturday, DECEMBER 3 @ 2P,
Following an acclaimed run this spring at the Bridge Theatre in London, Straight Line Crazy, a new play by David Hare, will have its exclusive US engagement this fall at The Shed. Starring Ralph Fiennes as Robert Moses and directed by Nicholas Hytner and Jamie Armitage, the play delves into Moses’s questionable legacy and enduring impact on New York City. For 40 uninterrupted years, Moses was considered among the most powerful men in New York as he envisioned and built public works whose aftereffects determine how New Yorkers experience the city to this day. The play presents an imagined retelling of the arc of Moses’s controversial career in two decisive moments: his rise to power in the late 1920s and the public outcry against the corrosive effects of that power in the mid-1950s.
