'Conflict' Explores Passion & Politics

Midday on WNYC | Jul 2, 2018

Actors Jessie Shelton and Jeremy Beck and The Mint Theater's artistic director Jonathan Bank discuss their new production, Conflict. Set in the 1920s in London, the play is a love story set against the backdrop of a hotly contested election. What starts off as people wanting to better the world turns ugly when politics become personal, and mudslinging threatens to soil them all.

This segment is guest hosted by DW Gibson.
