It's All True

by Jason Sherman

Nominated for the 2000 Governor General's Literary Award.

New York 1937. Art and politics collide when the government padlocks the doors of the theatre on the opening night of Marc Blitzsteins, “The Cradle Will Rock”. The director, Orson Welles, marches the actors and most of the audience down Seventh Avenue and finds another theatre, and in one brilliant stroke makes theatre history. As much a play for our times as it is about an historical event.

“Delights and amazes...brilliantly layering reality and illusion.” —The Globe and Mail.
