Here’s a question for those of us who like to read politics into everything: Did Joe and Jill Biden attend the March 20 opening of “Othello” with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal so that their not going to Thursday’s opening of “Good Night, and Good Luck” at the Winter Garden would be seen as a put down of George Clooney, the guy who wrote the New York Times essay that helped scuttle the 46th president’s run for reelection?
Here’s more political musing: Would the line, “I feel like I went to sleep three years ago, and somebody hijacked … as if all reasonable people took a plane to Europe and left us behind,” be in this play by Clooney and Grant Heslov if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 election? If ever there is an applause line in a play now on Broadway, it’s that stunner.
