Inside Private Lives - An International Hit!
Created by Kristin Stone, directed by Lee Michael Cohn
INSIDE PRIVATE LIVES takes audiences on an emotionally charged ride along the 20th-century timeline, interacting with infamous controversial figures along the way. Audience members become part of the experience as they are given roles (e.g. a journalist, a government official, an attorney) and encouraged to confront, challenge and question the characters in an effort to decide their fate.
Challenge cult leaders, celebrities, political operatives, sports figures and other notorious newsmakers of the 20th-century. You'll meet the likes of Branch Davidian David Koresh, Cincinnati Reds' Marge Schott, abdicated royal the Duke of Windsor, transgendered pioneer Christine Jorgensen, America's beer drinking "first brother" Billy Carter and many others. Every show is different. "****Certainly Not One to Miss!" (The List Magazine, UK)
