Trumbo

The Hungtington Theater Company presents Trumbo by Christopher Trumbo. Brian Dennehy stars as legendary screenwriter Dalton Trumbo who in 1947, at the top of his career, stood up to the House Un-American Activities Committee and was thrown into prison as one of the infamous Hollywood Ten. Though vilified, exiled, and “broke as a bankrupt’s bastard,” Trumbo refused to be silenced. Through his brilliant and funny letters to friends, former friends, and family emerges the story of a family’s survival and one stubborn artist’s quest to break the blacklist.
Directed by Peter Askin.
