SUMMARY:Straight Line Crazy
DESCRIPTION:\n\n*This&nbsp\;a sign interpreted performance and ticket prior
 ity is always given to Deaf audience members*\n\nTime: 2:00 PM\n\nTicket P
 rice: $50 + $2.50 convenience charge\nORDER TICKETS\nPRESENTED BY THE SHED
  AND LONDON THEATRE COMPANY\n\nDirected by Nicholas Hytner and Jamie Armit
 age\n\nFollowing an acclaimed run this spring at the Bridge Theatre in Lon
 don\,&nbsp\;Straight Line Crazy\, a new play by David Hare\, will have its
  exclusive US engagement this fall at The Shed.\n\nStarring Ralph Fiennes 
 as Robert Moses and directed by Nicholas Hytner and Jamie Armitage\, the p
 lay delves into Moses’s questionable legacy and enduring impact on New Y
 ork City. For 40 uninterrupted years\, Moses was considered among the most
  powerful men in New York as he envisioned and built public works whose af
 tereffects 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 th
 e public outcry against the corrosive effects of that power in the mid-195
 0s.\n\nHare’s play exposes Moses’s iron will\, which exploited weaknes
 ses in the state and city governments as he worked to remake public space.
  Though never elected to political office\, he manipulated those who were 
 through a mix of guile\, charm\, and intimidation. Motivated at first by a
  determination to improve the lives of New York City’s working class\, h
 e created new parks\, new bridges\, and 627 miles of expressway to connect
  the people to the great outdoors. However\, Moses often achieved these pu
 blic works at the expense of disempowered New Yorkers\, particularly peopl
 e of color\, living in the way of and near his projects. In the 1950s\, gr
 oups of citizens began to organize against his schemes and the prioritizat
 ion of cars over public transportation\, campaigning for a very different 
 idea of what a city should be.\n\nInterpreters: Rick Rubin\, Candace Broec
