“We have a right to live right.” That’s just one of the many signs that adorn the stage at Theatre at St. Clement’s. The time is 1968, and Bobby Kennedy is running for President of the United States. David Arrow’s KENNEDY: BOBBY’S LAST CRUSADE follows him on his campaign trail. The country is reeling from the resignation of Lyndon Baines Johnson and the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., against the backdrop of Vietnam War protests, the fight for civil rights, and aggressive actions of North Korea. It’s a time of chaos, and Americans are looking for someone to begin putting things right. Sound familiar? Enter Bobby Kennedy with his aversion of the easy access to guns and ammunition, the dismaying tolerance for violence, racism, and the neglect of the poor. At times you have to check your program to make sure the setting hasn’t transported back to current times.

David Arrow is Bobby Kennedy. He has the boyish youth, the sincere delivery of RFK speeches, the modesty of his personality, and the ability to instill hope down pat. So much so that you find yourself wondering how things would have been if he had been allowed to pursue his dreams. KENNEDY: BOBBY’S LAST CRUSADE entreats us to set the bar high for our current politicians and reminds us that amidst chaos good can rise to the top.
