Witness the world premiere of "Holmes," a captivating staged reading starring Kevin Reese, at the renowned Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater in Washington. This 75-minute performance takes you on a journey into the mind of the legendary Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Set in 1931 on Holmes' 90th birthday, the scene unfolds as he prepares to address the nation in a radio broadcast. Guided by his young clerk, Holmes delves into fascinating topics, regaling the audience with entertaining anecdotes about his famous father, his experiences with Teddy Roosevelt, and his collaborations with fellow justices. However, it is the question about his service in the Twentieth Massachusetts and his wounds in battle that reveals a deeper side of Holmes, as he grapples with the memories of fallen comrades. This thought-provoking play, written by Todd C. Peppers and directed by Helen Hayes Award winner Mary Hall Surface, breathes life into the wit and wisdom of Justice Holmes. Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing portrayal by veteran D.C. actor Kevin Reese. Following the performance, you are invited to join the Society for a reception.
