In the later years of Lyndon Johnson’s administration, the president’s attention was divided between the unwinnable Vietnam War and civil unrest at home. These turbulent years are captured in Robert Schenkkan’s play “The Great Society” – his follow up to his Tony-winning “All the Way.” The play is currently on stage at the Wyly Theatre, and director Kevin Moriarty and actor Shawn Hamilton join us to talk about how LBJ managed this difficult time. “The Great Society” runs through April 1.
