Why see All Things Equal: The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
supreme court icon
The late Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazing legal luminary, challenging societal norms and leaving a permanent mark on the United States Supreme Court. In All Things Equal, a play by Tony-winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Curtains), a family friend is warmly invited into her chambers for a deeply personal and even sometimes hilarious conversation, as she retells the intricate story of her life and times.
Whether it's the poignant loss of her mother on the eve of her high school graduation, or being one of the only women pursuing law at Harvard while at the same time raising her child and supporting her husband through his cancer battle, little is off the table. She recounts the inside scoop on her advocacy for the rights of women in the all-male courtrooms of the 70s, her outspoken battle for human rights and her iconic status as a rational voice in a fractured and ferocious Supreme Court. Riding the rollercoaster of emotions and social issues which defined her life, don't miss this touching and uplifting play!
