EJ Dionne on the Radical Right; Rousuck Review: "Antigone Project;" Allen Moore's "Out Of Our Heads"

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and we’ll use our extra day to ponder how the political divide in America has become so pronounced.  If a series of victories tomorrow establishes Donald Trump as the standard bearer for the Republican Party, does that mean that the political polarity of the Obama years gets even worse?  In his new book, Why the Right Went Wrong, acclaimed political journalist E.J. Dionne contends that reforming American conservatism is one of the most important tasks of our time.  He joins Tom to offer his unique perspective on the body politic in this political high season. 

Then, theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck has a review of The Rep Stage (Columbia) production of Antigone Project,  a collection of five plays, all written by women, that presents compellingly updated renditions of Sophocles' ancient tragedy.

And MICA filmmaker Allen Moore and his collaborator, Leo Horrigan, drop by to discuss their new documentary https://vimeo.com/allenmoore">Out of Our Heads: A Male Journey Into the Heartabout a group of men trying to find, heal and re-define themselves.
