Tony winner Ralph Fiennes (Hamlet, The English Patient, Schindler's List) is Robert Moses in this new play by David Hare. For 40 uninterrupted years, Robert Moses was considered the most powerful man in New York as he envisioned and built public works whose aftereffects determine how residents experience the city to this day. Hare’s play exposes Moses’ iron will, which exploited weaknesses in the state and city governments as he worked to remake public space. Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s working class, he created new parks, new bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. However, Moses often achieved these public works at the expense of disempowered New Yorkers, particularly people of color, living in the way of and near his projects.
