Hailed by The Boston Globe as “a gem,” The Ruby Sunrise begins when a 1920s tomboy feverishly works to develop her latest invention—a little something called “television.” Twenty-five years later, her daughter will stop at nothing to bring her mother’s incredible story to life during TV’s Golden Age. But will it get the truth it deserves?The Ruby Sunrise is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in March 2007.Directed by Brendon FoxProducing Director: Susan Albert LoewenbergAsher Book as Henry/Paul BenjaminKatharine Leonard as Suzie TyroneKate McGregor-Stewart as Lois/Ethel ReedElisabeth Moss as Ruby Sunrise/Elizabeth HunterJason Ritter as Tad RoseKate Steele as LuluHenry Winkler as Martin Marcus
