Illyria - by Richard Nelson

Play by Richard Nelson about Joe Papp. Played the Public Theater in 2017. 96 pages.

It is 1958. In the midst of a building boom in New York City, Joe Papp and his colleagues are facing pressure from the city’s elite as they continue their free Shakespeare in Central Park. From the creator of the most celebrated family plays of the last decade comes a drama about a differ­ent kind of family—one held together by the belief that the theater, and the city, belong to all of us.
