The People Versus Lenny Bruce
The People Versus Lenny Bruce is part of the acclaimed series called "All The Court's A Stage", based on
the cases of legendary first amendment lawyer Marty Garbus. Written by Susan Charlotte, directed by
Antony Marsellis, with a Broadway cast, this show has played to sold-out audiences throughout the country,
including The Garry Marshall Theatre in Burbank, Cal.
The play takes place in New York, in 1964 when famed comedian Lenny Bruce was facing obscenity
charges. Marty Garbus, who represented Bruce, decided to add conservative journalist and television
personality Dorothy Kilgallen to his list of witnesses testifying on
Bruce's behalf. The reason? Kilgallen happened to be a great fan of Bruce's and could speak to his talent.
Kilgallen and renowned cartoonist and writer Jules Feiffer are part of
this cast of incredible characters.
Though the story takes places over six decades ago, it is more relevant than ever. Jimmy
Kimmel even referenced Bruce during his monologue after his show had been temporarilly cancelled. The
People Versus Lenny Bruce is a heartbreaking story filled with humor
and excerpts from Bruce's actual routines. It is the story of a man who was ahead of his time and his lawyer
who tried to save Bruce from the system and himself! But to no avail.
The odds were against both men as evidenced by the prosecutor's witness who said,
"We aimed for Bruce. We picked him out of all the performers...I know he was not
obscene...yet, in a way, I felt he had to be convicted.."
