Setting off from a farm in Indiana as a young girl named Ruby struggles to turn her dream of the first all-electrical television system into a reality, and jumping forward to a McCarthy-era New York TV studio where Ruby's heirs fight over how her story should be told, THE RUBY SUNRISE charts the course of the phenomenon of television: from early idealism and sparks of genius, to promises fulfilled and compromises brokered, and beyond.
Rinne Groff demonstrates thematic ambition and theatrical flair. This play is a gem; entertaining and thought-provoking. It is a commentary on the transformative powers of storytelling - channeling the power of television.
