"Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins"

[KeepItReal]

Starring Kathleen Turner at UCLA's Geffen Playhouse Jan 3 - Feb 12.



Here's the write up:

"Two-time Tony and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner sizzles as Molly Ivins, the brassy Texan reporter whose liberal journalism skyrocketed her to the national stage. From writing Elvis Presley’s New York Times obituary to becoming the most widely-read self-proclaimed “pain in the ass to whatever powers come to be,” Ivins, often described as a modern-day Mark Twain, made rabid fans and enemies alike with her sharp-tongued humor and unabashed political criticism. This acclaimed one-woman show captures the redheaded reporter’s indomitable character by weaving personal anecdotes with her colorful take on national politics."
