Synopsis

Ann is an intimate, no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary late Governor of Texas.

This inspiring and hilarious play brings us face to face with a complex, colorful, and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed.

Written and originally performed by Emmy Award-winner Holland Taylor, Ann takes a revealing look at the impassioned woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends and family.

Following the play’s Broadway run, Taylor was nominated for a 2013 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play and won the 2013 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Solo Performance.

Press Reviews

"Fiery, salty and brash!"
— The New York Times

"Fun and engaging… marinated in Texas wryness… Ann wants you to savor the wit of this up-by-the-bootstraps politico, who began as an adoring wife and mother and reinvented herself by entering politics and ascending the ladder… Taylor’s Richards gives us a tantalizing taste of what drew her to the public arena."
— Washington Post

"Ann is blisteringly funny. Taylor vividly captures the spirit of her icon. It’s hard not to feel the tenderness radiating from the stage."
— Washingtonian Magazine

"Holland Taylor has crafted a passionate love letter to Richards… a witty script… a poignant reminder of what was lost when Richards died of cancer."
— WNBC NY
