This recent Broadway smash hit is inspired by John D'Agata's and Jim Fingal's debate-style book of the same name and brings to life the endless arguments of its original authors. Fingal is a fresh out of Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. D'Agata...
Hnaths eight-time Tony-nominated play serves as both a playful sequel to Henrik Ibsens 1879 groundbreaking masterpiece as well as a stand-alone work of modern feminist drama. We last saw Ibsens Nora Helmer literally and figuratively slamming the door on her life. When Hnath...
