ABBIE Comes To NYC's West End Theater
Life Underground preceded by years of constant battles, did not make Abbie Hoffman the happy man he appeared to be as "Clown Prince of The Sixties Revolution."
ABBIE, a one-man show depicting the personal life of Abbie Hoffman, opens Off-Broadway January 6th at NYC's West End Theater. New York actor, Bern Cohen (Holy Rollers), plays Hoffman, revealing the emotional challenges and struggles of the activist.
The ABBIE script, arranged by Cohen, is entirely drawn from the books and speeches of Abbie Hoffman in which he shares awarenesses of his youth and family, his take on Judaism, life underground, his mental collapse and more. ABBIE incorporates historical footage, archived photos and the well-known VJ Morgan Freeman's cutting edge projections to create an unprecedented media-based arena for the little-known personal side of ABBIE.
"I read his books and realized that nobody knows the real Abbie Hoffman." Cohen gatherEd Hoffman's personal story, and, with staging input from VJ Morgan Freeman, created a revolutionary evening for the Woodstock generation and their children, one that brings emotional reality to an historical figure in American activism.
