Tony Award-winner John Lithgow embodies children's author Roald Dahl weathering a self-made PR crisis in Mark Rosenblatt's acclaimed play.
It's the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl (John Lithgow) is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won't die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home and facing a series of accusations from his inner circle—including his agent and publisher—Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
"You wait forever for a role like this, full of sadism and monstrosity and hideousness," said John Lithgow, who earned his third Tony Award with this role. It's a performance not to be missed.
