Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins

Rhonda Brown as Molly Ivins
THE LIDA PROJECT EXTENDS ONE-WOMAN PLAY ABOUT MOLLY IVINS
Denver, CO – After a sold out run at its new location in Denver, The LIDA Project is proud to announce the transfer and extension of Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins by twin journalist sisters, Margaret and Allison Engel starring Rhonda Brown and directed by Brian Freeland. The play tells the story of the unsinkable Molly Ivins, the famously brassy newspaper columnist and best-selling author. A true Texas original, Ivins was a sharp-tongued wit who skewered the political establishment and the "good ol' boys" with her unforgettable humor and wisdom. The play celebrates Ivins' courage and tenacity – even when a complacent America wasn't listening.

Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful. I only aim at the powerful. When satire is aimed at the powerless, it is not only cruel -- it's vulgar.” - Molly Ivins
