In reply to the discussion: Breath of Dissent [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)8. HBO will be making a flim of 'All The Way' a play about LBJ's first year in office
written by Robert Schenkkan with Bryan Cranston as Johnson. The play originated at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival which commissioned the work. It just won best play and actor Tony Awards as well as Drama Desk awards. It is very good theater and researched to the hilt.
The second play in the LBJ cycle 'The Great Society' is just about to open at OSF and I will be seeing it, as they say there, anon.
I'm very proud of OSF for adding these plays to the body of work that is the American theater and also very happy that there will be an HBO adaptation to bring the first play to a wider audience.
