The Leonard Lopate Show
The Little Flower of East Orange
The new play "The Little Flower of East Orange," directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, is an inter-generational ghost story set in a charity hospital in The Bronx. Leonard talks to playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and star Ellen Burstyn. It’s at the Public Theater (425 Lafayette St.) through May 4th.
It's segments like these that make this show so great.

great show, and interesting to hear from ellen burstyn that she will play barbara bush in oliver stone's new film? I wonder who will play W? Chris Cooper is the only person who comes to mind, either for W or for HW
I saw the play two nights, witnessing standing ovations, and only wish I could have gone for a third night. The evenings were gripping, absorbing, and moving, so much so that on Wednesday night, I could not move, even to applaud.
