I'd love to see this play. Andy Rooney bloviates about cereal boxes and is famous. Theodore Roethke believed Moss-Gathering to be a desecration of the earth....Uh, Theodore who?

looks like john aylward is doing an impression of m. emmett walsh. i believe aylward played whitaker chambers but not 100%sure.

When/where will this play be showing? (I'm a huge Roethke fan, as the username suggests.)

@wordsforthewind - This show was premiered in 2007 at ACT in Seattle. You might look around for other productions, I don't know if other theatres are producing it yet or not.
