From the creative team behind the Tony®-winning Best Play, All The Way, comes a thrilling new play about the LBJ legacy: THE GREAT SOCIETY.
Starring Brian Cox, Marc Kudisch, Grantham Coleman, and Richard Thomas.
17 actors. Over 50 characters. One epic political drama. Capturing Lyndon B. Johnson’s passionate and aggressive attempts to build a great society for all, THE GREAT SOCIETY follows his epic triumph in a landslide election to the agonizing decision not to run for re-election just three years later. It was an era that would define history forever: the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the destruction of Vietnam, and the creation of some of the greatest social programs America has ever known—and one man was at the center of it all: LBJ.
Written by Pulitzer, Tony and WGA Award winner Robert Schenkkan, and directed by Bill Rauch.
The Great Society is suitable for ages 12+ , and no one under age 5 will be admitted into the theatre.
