    Peter Strauss: long reigning king of the American television miniseries. I remember when the actual, historical event took place and Berrigan’s fall-out play seemed to be showing up on the stage of every theatrical enterprise. People were so shocked by the whole affair that I think those performances acted as a kind of mass therapy. Thanks for this post as I never got to see this incarnation. It’s a decent companion to the recent TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7. . . . . ahhhhhhh . . . the late ‘sixties.
