Review: MURDER IN THE FIRST by David Gordon
The writer Dan Gordon is no stranger to adapting screenplays for the theater. Following stage versions of the films Rain Man and Terms of Endearment (which ran in London) and the original Holocaust-based bio-drama Irena’s Vow (which ran on Broadway), Gordon's newest venture is Murder in the First, a stage play of his 1995 courtroom drama which starred Kevin Bacon and Christian Slater. One wonders why.
