CRITIC'S CHOICE! "Complex, probing and deeply moving…TRUMBO truthfully hits its mark." -LA Times (Click here
to read the review.)
Falcon Theatre is proud to present acclaimed Tony Award-winning Best Actor, Joe Mantegna, in the Los Angeles Premiere of TRUMBO. The riveting Off-Broadway drama by playwright Christopher Trumbo
is an homage to the playwright’s legendary screenwriter father, Dalton Trumbo (Spartacus, Roman Holiday, Exodus). In 1947, Dalton Trumbo stood up to the House on Un-American Activities Committee and was thrown into
prison as one of the infamous "Hollywood Ten." From his luminous and amusing letters to family, friends and enemies emerges the story of a family's survival and one stubborn artist's quest to break the blacklist.

"Not to be missed!
Trumbo´s missives are
literature, vividly capturing
a time and place where fear
ruled. These letters were
defiant, reasoned in their
rage yet often filled with
compassion."
-Associated Press
"A moving portrait of courage"
-New York Magazine

"Riveting and occasionally hilarious.
TRUMBO is an insightful and engaging look at the personal toll the Communist witch hunts of the 1950's took on one man."

"A joy to hear read.
Trumbo was something of an epistolary genius. The letters are thrilling, uneconomical torrents of words,
alternately grandiloquent, ferocious, withering, sentimental, thunderously overwrought and often hilarious."

"Positively sizzles with wit.
A moving testament to the severe personal and professional cost of the red scare in Hollywood. Beautifully crafted,
often uproariously funny writing that otherwise might have been lost to history."
