About This Show
The Public Theater presents a reading of it’s recent award-winning production of Stuff Happens.
A provocative and thoughtful play about how and why we went to war in Iraq, Stuff Happens brings to the stage an ongoing story of great national and international importance, with characters and dialogue seemingly ripped from today’s headlines. Inspired by actual events – both public and private – that have been authenticated from multiple sources, Stuff Happens is a powerful history play that brilliantly transforms “real life” into profound drama.
This one-night-only event features the cast of The Public Theater production:
George Bartenieff, Reed Birney, Tony Carlin, Glenn Fleshler, Zach Grenier, Lameece Issaq, Peter Francis James, Ken Marks, Larry Pine, David Pittu, Gloria Reuben, Jay O. Sanders, Thomas Schall, Robert Sella, Brenda Wehle, and Waleed F. Zuaiter. Daniel Sullivan directs.
“The most significant political art yet to grow from our catastrophic times.”
— Linda Winer, Newsday
