ABOUT THE SHOW:

“RFK” begins in 1964 when President Johnson decided not to ask Senator Kennedy to be his running mate up until RFK?s untimely assassination during the 1968 presidential election. It also includes background information on his personal life as well as his relationships with brother President John F. Kennedy, sister-in-law Jacqueline Kennedy and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

ABOUT THE ACTOR:

Russ Widdall has been performing professionally in Philadelphia and nationally for over 20 years and has been Co-Artistic Director at New City Stage Company for 3 years. He has performed in television, film and theatre, featuring several productions at the Walnut Street Theatre and the regular role of Ron Lowenthal on HBO?s ?The Wire.? ?RFK? will be his third one-man show. He performed Sam Shepard?s poetry monologues ?Savage/Love? and ?Tongues? for New City Stage during the 2011 Philadelphia Fringe and Live Arts Festival and it was revived for 5 performances in the spring of this year. The show has also been invited to participate in the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Mr. Widdall?s ability as a solo performer has contributed greatly to its success. He also has recent experience working in an educational context and mentoring college students, having been hired several times by the University of the Arts to participate in productions and staged readings.

New City Stage?s overall objective for this project is to create a dialogue about politics amongst college students who are voting for the first time, as well as senior citizens and other under-served populations. As Educational Artistic Associate Kevin Rodden has noted, there are many parallels between the Obama administration and the Kennedy era. ?RFK’s impassioned pleas for social justice speak to a rare breed of political animal: a man willing to break with his party on conviction; a man for whom great intelligence is a cross to bear, and a gift to share; a man who shared a dream with the Man who had a Dream.?
