RFK: A Portrait of Robert F. Kennedy (Off-Broadway) Tickets

To be sure, Arlington Cemetery is filled with many heroes. But just down the hill from the imposing Eternal Flame stands a small white cross which remembers for the world a shy, intense, misunderstood, boyish man who, in his surviving brother's words, “Saw wrong and tried to right it…saw suffering and tried to heal it…saw war…and tried to stop it.” By late summer, 1964 Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was a deeply wounded man. Still in shock and consumed with grief over the assassination of his older brother President John F. Kennedy, he was at a crossroads. The presidential election was approaching and President Lyndon Johnson finally called RFK to the White House to end months of speculation over whether or not RFK would be LBJ's vice-presidential running mate. What next? That decision set the course for the remaining four years as he grew from husband, father, grieving brother to NY Senator to outspoken critic of the war in Vietnam to Democratic Presidential candidate. The result of that meeting and the subsequent direction of RFK's life are the focus of the play, written by and starring Jack Holmes. “1968 will go down in history as the year the new politics began. We need new politics. It's not that we need to be more liberal or more conservative. We just need better liberals and better conservatives. We need a new way of looking at America's role across world.”
