From: Bringing "Tip" to Life: According to Dick and Ken

The New Repertory Theatre in Watertown, Mass., is staging the world premiere of 'According to Tip,' a one-man play featuring stage and screen star Ken Howard as the inimitable, sometimes irascible, but always indefatigable Speaker of the House of Representatives, Thomas P. 'Tip' O'Neill. Written by long-time Boston political pundit Dick Flavin, 'According to Tip' marks the 50-year career, and the world history it spanned, of one of the most colorful and effective political figures of the 20th century.
