Saint Louis Fringe Festival - Red Hot Patriot

Celebrated as a modern day Mark Twain, Molly Ivins sharp-tongued humor and unabashed liberal political criticism is as relevant today as ever.

Rhonda Brown sizzles as Molly Ivins, the brassy Texan reporter whose liberal journalism skyrocketed her to the national stage. From writing Elvis Presley’s New York Times obituary to becoming the most widely-read self-proclaimed “pain in the *** to whatever powers come to be,” Ivins, often described as a modern-day Mark Twain, made rabid fans and enemies alike with her sharp-tongued humor and unabashed political criticism. This acclaimed show captures the redheaded reporter’s indomitable character by weaving personal anecdotes with her colorful take on national politics. The play celebrates Ivins' courage and tenacity - even when a divisive America wasn't listening.
