About Straight Line Crazy

Ralph Fiennes stars in David Hare’s blazing account of the life of a man whose iron will exposed the weakness of democracy in the face of charismatic conviction.

For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses was the most powerful man in New York. Though never elected to office, he manipulated those who were through a mix of guile, charm and intimidation.

Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created new parks, new bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. But in the 1950s, groups of citizens at grass roots began to organize against his schemes and against the motor car, campaigning for a very different idea of what a city was and for what it should be.

Intelligent, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you like serious shows with terrific actors and interesting staging.It's the story of the man who designed highways in NYC.Sounds dull.Isn't

Don’t see it if you want a light, frothy comedy.There is a lot of humor in this.But it's also a study in acting, a history lesson, and a damn good show.
