鈥淚t鈥檚 a privilege to add George and Grant鈥檚 play to Concord鈥檚 catalog of landmark shows that engage in cultural critique,鈥� says Concord Chief Theatricals Executive Sean Patrick Flahaven. 鈥淗aving grown up in a political family, the film has always been a favorite of mine, and this is a brilliant adaptation for the stage.
