Josh Radnor, star of How I Met Your Mother, is currently starring in Tony Award-winning playwright Itamar Moses’ new play, The Ally, at The Public Theater.
Join Josh and Itamar for an important conversation about this fierce drama and the issues it explores. When college professor Asaf (Josh Radnor) is asked by a student to sign a social justice manifesto, what seems at first like a simple choice instead embroils him in an increasingly complex web of conflicting agendas that challenge his allegiances as a progressive, a husband, an artist, an academic, an American, an atheist, and a Jew. With tensions at an all-time high, Asaf is forced to confront the age-old question: “If I am only for myself, what am I?”
Directed by Drama Desk Award winner Lila Neugebauer (Appropriate), The Ally is a passionate, provocative, and unflinching new play about the vanishing line between the personal and the political.
