About the show
The Wild Project presents a solo show tracing the life of famed broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow. More…
Joseph Menino stars in this U.S. premiere by playwright Joseph Vitale. 'Murrow' covers the high points of the journalist's career, including his early years at Columbia Broadcasting Systems, onsite reports of the 1940s bombing of London, the liberation of Buchenwald, and the on-air collapse of Senator Joe McCarthy’s 'Red Scare' campaign. More than just a biographical look at an icon and pioneer of American broadcast journalism, 'Murrow' is a stinging indictment of the contemporary corporate-media complex.
