An exploration of politics and power through the eyes of LBJ from Pulitzer winner Robert Schenkkan.
Story:
All The Way tells the story of the tumultuous first year of the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson, thrust into power following Kennedy’s assassination and struggling to hold onto the White House in an election that forces him to make concessions. In 1964, this pivotal year in American history, he passes a landmark civil rights bill, but begins his fateful descent into Vietnam. LBJ is fiercely determined to lift the country out of the ashes and rebuild it into The Great Society—by any means necessary.
Fun Fact
The play takes its name from Johnson's 1964 campaign slogan, "All the Way with LBJ."
