Critic and columnist John Heilpern (Vanity Fair) discusses the life and work of the pivotal British playwright John Osborne (1929-1994), the subject of Heilpern’s outstanding and critically-acclaimed biography, John Osborne: The Many Lives of the Angry Young Man. Osborne transformed the British theater with his 1956 play Look Back in Anger (now being revived in NYC at The Roundabout Theatre). He became one of England’s most revered and successful writers, all the while suffering from bouts of depression, self-destructive drinking and hidden anguish. Heilpern shares his insights on the writer’s profound influence, as well as his troubled, and sometimes cruel, personality.

Our favorite knight, the lyricist and librettist Sir Tim Rice joins us to discuss his celebrated shows Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, both of which are currently being revived on Broadway. Rice also talks about his new show, From Here to Eternity, a musical adaptation of James Jones’ World War II novel, and shares a few dry observations about Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new reality TV show in Britain, on which the public will pick “Jesus” for an upcoming UK stadium tour of Superstar (not to be confused with the critically celebrated version directed by Des McAnuff, playing in NYC now).
