Manhattan Theater Club continues their 1999-2000 season on Stage II with Davd Marshall Grant's touching new play, Current Events. From the pen of last year's Off-Broadway hit Snakebit comes this witty production about a liberal California senatorial candidate who discovers that all politics are personal when he returns home to his family in Connecticut. The show is directed by David Petrarca, resident director of Chicago's Goodman Theatre.
Running Time: 2 hours
