CurrentMURROW, a one man multimedia play by playwright Joseph Vitale. reveals the complexity and achievements of a man whose voice, intelligence and honesty inspired a nation. It also turns a mirror on a media that has fallen far from the standards that Edward R. Murrow established for his profession.In an age of fake news and “info-tainment,” Edward R. Murrow’s life and work stand out as beacons of integrity and professionalism. His radio reports from London during the Blitz brought the war into American homes and made him a household name. His broadcast from Buchenwald is as chilling now as the day it was aired. His ground-breaking television work unearthed scandals and injustices in our own country, making him a hero to many but an enemy to entrenched interests.Murrow's legendary on-air showdown with Senator Joe McCarthy was instrumental in bringing about the downfall of the junior senator from Wisconsin. Yet, despite his achievements, Murrow was ultimately forced off the air by an industry that had grown more interested in profits than in the possibilities the new medium offered. Confidant of presidents, conscience of a nation, Murrow remained an enigma – idealistic, remote, creative, self-destructive.His story hits the stage in this REGIONAL PREMIERE, April 11-21 at AT&T Performing Arts Center.Tickets are on sale now: https://www.attpac.org/on-sale/2024/murrow/
