A new and exciting play (now being made into a movie) that introduces us to Dalton Trumbo, a 1950's blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter. This fascinating, cantankerous, often abrasive writer has won several Academy Awards (under pseudonyms) for his screenwriting. With surprising humor, the play follows Trumbo through his struggle to provide for his family, maintain his dignity, and survive his time spent in prison for his political beliefs.
