Join us for an evening celebrating Tom Wolfe, also affectionately known as the Man in the White Suit. Winner of a National Book Award for The Right Stuff and National Book Award Finalist for his first novel Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe was more than a writer. Wolfe was a massive cultural figure, who changed journalism in America as a founder of “new journalism”, who changed the conversation around popular figures like Ken Kesey and his “Merry Pranksters” of the ’60s, Astronauts, and George W Bush. Wolfe introduced several phrases into the American vernacular, including “statusphere”, “radical chic”, “right stuff”, and “the me decade”. We are delighted to present an evening of the wit and cultural insights of Tom Wolfe, which will include excerpts from his novels, short works, articles, and interviews – all told through our performers each costumed in Wolfe’s iconic white suit.
