THESE ARE THE TIMES by David Hansen is a six-layer chocolate cake. It is labeled as a two-act play, but in length it is truly two plays, which together track the creation and development of political theater in America in the middle of the 20th century. The first play pays tribute to the Living Newspaper and similar contemporary pageants, the second play traces the early days of improv theater from economics to race and sex. Whether out of hometown loyalty or as the product of a commission, all the events have been relocated to Cleveland. A vigorous burst of theatricality!
