RE:Terre Haute
I saw a production of this play in London in 2007 along with some that were even in the West End while this one was Fringe Theatre. Out of the four shows that I saw while I was in London, Terre Haute was the best written, best acted of them all and they were all very good. A marvelous play with extremely interesting characters. It stays with you for quite awhile after you leave the theater. I wish I could have been in NYC when it was playing so I could have seen it again. Bring it back, please!

In White's fictionalized account, James Brevoort (Peter Eyre) -- a thinly veiled stand-in for Vidal -- arrives at the high-security prison in Terre Haute, Indiana where the McVeigh-like Harrison (Nick Westrate) is being held, prior to his execution by lethal injection.
