Thirteen Days
A world premiere adaptation of THIRTEEN DAYS by Robert F. Kennedy, his memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis.  On October 16, 1962, long-range Soviet missiles carrying nuclear warheads aimed at the United States were discovered in Cuba.  For the next thirteen days, President John Kennedy maneuvered his way through conflicting counsel from his advisors, some of whom urged a military response likely to bring on World War III, ambiguous and sometimes deceitful information from the Soviet Unions representatives, and ever-shifting facts on the ground.  City Lit has received permission from the Kennedy family to insert as dialogue into our script excerpts from recently-made-public transcripts of JFKs strategy sessions during the climax of the Cold War, the thirteen days the world came its closest to nuclear war.  As with City Lits acclaimed production last season of Archibald MacLeishs J.B., the roles in THIRTEEN DAYS will be played by a diverse ensemble of women.  All the characters in the book are white males; none of the actors onstage will be.

Directed by Brian Pastor
