Griswold Tickets

On the eve of the sexual revolution, a bold and iconoclastic woman in her sixties will engineer her own criminal arrest, resulting in the landmark Supreme Court case, Griswold v. Connecticut, which strikes down laws criminalizing birth control, establishes a right of sexual privacy, and directly paves the way for other guarantees of liberty, including, on the 50th anniversary of the Griswold case, the right of same-sex couples to marry. Fusing magic realism and traditional docudrama, this play mines the spirit and extraordinary events leading to establishment of the right of sexual privacy and its essential link to personal dignity.

Annette Bening plays the title role of Estelle Griswold for one night only!
