World premiere adaptation of THIRTEEN DAYS by Robert F. Kennedy, his memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis. On October 16, 1962, Soviet missiles carrying nuclear warheads aimed at the United States were discovered in Cuba. For thirteen days, President John Kennedy maneuvered his way through conflicting counsel from his advisors, some of whom urged military action likely to start World War III, ambiguous and sometimes deceitful information from the Soviet Unions representatives, and ever-shifting facts on the ground. City Lits script will include excerpts from now-public transcripts of JFKs strategy sessions during the two weeks the world came its closest to nuclear war. As with City Lits acclaimed production of J.B., all the roles in THIRTEEN DAYS will be played by a diverse ensemble of women.
