Discussion of “The Titans” by Robert McElwaine

This month, Footlights will discuss Robert McElwaine’s The Titans, a drama about President Kennedy (played by Paul Morella) and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis.

Each month, 35-50 Footlights members meet over dinner with playwrights, directors, and scholars to discuss modern drama. Participants read the plays on their own (available at Backstage Books, Politics and Prose and Olsson’s), meet at inexpensive restaurants near Washington-area Metro stations, and usually attend performances. Membership is free, although a $5 donation is requested.
