Sweet Tornado: Margo Jones and the American Theater
"Sweet Tornado: Margo Jones and the American Theater," a new documentary on a theatre pioneer, will premiere nationally on public television stations in March.
"Fifty years ago, Margo Jones was famous in the American theater world as 'The Texas Tornado.' She fought for success as a woman in a man’s world, lived too fast, and died too young. Few know her name today, but her vision has transformed the American stage. The more-than-450 nonprofit resident theaters that now stretch across the country are all offspring of Jones’s beliefs and commitment," state press notes.
The documentary stars Judith Ivey (Follies, Blithe Spirit, Hurlyburly) as the dynamic and idealistic director from Texas, and Richard Thomas (A Naked Girl on the Appian Way, Democracy) as Tennessee Williams, whose early career she championed. The one-hour documentary, produced in high-definition format, is narrated by Marcia Gay Harden (Oscar-winner for Pollock, Angels in America on Broadway), and will premiere nationally in March 2006 during Women’s History Month.
