The People Versus Lenny Bruce is part of the acclaimed series called "All The Court's A Stage", based on the cases of legendary first amendment lawyer Marty Garbus. Written by Susan Charlotte, directed by Antony Marsellis, with a Broadway cast, this show has played to sold-out audiences throughout the country, including The Garry Marshall Theatre in Burbank, Cal.
The play takes place in New York, in 1964 when famed comedian Lenny Bruce was facing obscenity charges. Marty Garbus, who represented Bruce, decided to add conservative journalist and television personality Dorothy Kilgallen to his list of witnesses testifying on Bruce's behalf. The reason? Kilgallen happened to be a great fan of Bruce's and could speak to his talent. Kilgallen and renowned cartoonist and writer Jules Feiffer are part of this cast of incredible characters.
