My pal Jim Brochu is in New York doing his one-guy show as Zero Mostel. I wish I could get back there to see it again and I also wish I'd been present Tuesday evening when, in conjunction with the play, a panel discussion was held about the blacklist. Participating were several individuals who, like Zero, lived through that time. They included Lee Grant, Jules Feiffer and the children of Ring Lardner, Dalton Trumbo and Jack Gilford.
Fortunately, we have Jim's partner Steve Schalchlin, who reports on the evening on his weblog and promises that a video of the entire event will soon be up on YouTube. I will be linking when it is.
By the way: If you hunt around on Steve's blog, you'll be able to read some of the rave reviews that Jim is receiving. The show, Zero Hour, is there until the end of January.
