A reading of Mathilde Dratwa's A Play About David Mamet Writing a Play About Harvey Weinstein will be presented July 21 at 7 PM at The Judith O. Rubin Theater at Playwrights Horizons.
Directed by Leslye Headland, the reading of Dratwa's new play will benefit the New York Civil Liberties Union. The cast will feature Abbi Jacobson, Billy Eichner, Heléne Yorke, and two-time Tony winner Kara Young.
A Play About David Mamet Writing a Play About Harvey Weinstein, press notes state, is about "Mamet (who has, in real life, written a play about Weinstein); it’s about way too many dudes named David; but, first and foremost, it’s about three women—each with her own reasons to be pretty… angry."
“We have been enamored with Mathilde’s audacious, surprising, and moving play since we first read it,” producers George Strus and Rachel Sussman said in a joint statement. “We are thrilled to have assembled this stellar cast under Leslye Headland’s leadership to support the unceasing work of the NYCLU at this crucial moment.”
Strus of Benson Drive Productions, Sussman of Soto Productions, and Isabelle Mann of Funroe Productions produce.
The NYCLU's mission is to defend and promote the fundamental principles and values embodied in the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and the New York Constitution. Visit NYCLU.org.
