James Wirt and Julia Stiles in 'Phoenix'

A One-Night-Stand Leads to a Cross-Country Journey in the play "Phoenix," starring Julia Stiles

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 6, 2014

Julia Stiles and James Wirt discuss their roles in Scott Organ’s play “Phoenix.” They play Sue and Bruce, who meet after an uncharacteristic one-night-stand. Sue never wants to see him again, but Bruce feels compelled to join her in Phoenix. Both are forced to consider a whole new world of possibility, though not one free of difficulty and loss. “Phoenix” is playing at the Cherry Lane Theater through August 23.
