Plays ABOUT Orson

Chicago, June 2004:

It’s All True (Timeline, May 1-June 6): Art and politics collide when the government’s Works Progress Administration shuts down Orson Welles’ new pro-union musical The Cradle Will Rock in 1937. This fast-paced and brilliantly witty comedy brings to life a defining moment in the history of American theatre.

If the Windy City can make a musical out of Winesburg, Ohio, they can make a comedy from the production of Welles and Houseman's WPA Musical The Cradle Will Rock. Old hands may be put off by cross-mixing the whole thing further by calling the play, It's All True, but the scenario is a ready-made one, as Tim Robbins showed in his movie, CRADLE WILL ROCK (1999).
