Thanks to lucypr for that info.

Here's an article about the play:

L.A. Theatre Works Returns to Concord with Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers

CONCORD, NH: L.A. Theatre Works brings one of the most important Supreme Court cases on freedom of the press to the Capitol Center for the Arts stage on Wednesday, February 6, at 7:30 p.m. Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, starring acclaimed Hollywood actors John Heard and Susan Sullivan, gives an inside look at The Washington Post’s decision to publish the top secret study documenting U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

Last year, L.A. Theatre Works’ presentation of The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial at the Capitol Center raised critical questions about the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools. Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, though chronicling events that took place over 35 years ago, raises questions about government secrecy that are freshly relevant.

Prior to the performance, at 6:30 p.m., the Capitol Center and the New Hampshire Humanities Council will present a free panel discussion on the conflict that often arises between the government and the press on matters of national security. Panelists will include Richard A. Hesse, Emeritus Professor of Law Franklin Pierce Law Center; U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe; and Mike Pride, Editor of the Concord Monitor.

Heard, who will play Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee, appeared in the hit movies Big, the Home Alone series, and Awakenings, and in TV’s The Sopranos, Prison Break, and CSI: Miami. Sullivan, who will play Katherine Graham, the Post’s publisher, is best known as Kitty Montgomery on TV’s Dharma & Greg, and Maggie Gioberti on Falcon Crest. Also appearing in “Top Secret” are veteran Hollywood actors John Vickery and Gregory Harrison.

In a democratic society, should a government be allowed to protect secrets in the name of national security if those secrets are used to cover up politically damaging actions taken by that government? This epic legal battle between the government and the press went to the nation’s highest court and tested the parameters of the First Amendment, pitting the public’s right to know against the government’s desire for secrecy.

United States Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara commissioned a study on the history of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War that was completed on January 15, 1969. Only 15 copies of The Papers – as they came to be known – were circulated, and in 1971, one was leaked.

On June 13, 1971, a Sunday New York Times headline read “Vietnam Archive: Pentagon Study Traces 3 Decades of Growing U.S. Involvement.” On the evening of June 14, 1971, Attorney General John Mitchell warned the Times via phone and telegram against further publication of The Papers and on Tuesday, June 15, the government sought and won a restraining order against the Times.

Eager to get a piece of this remarkable story, The Washington Post, not covered by the initial injunction against the Times, obtained a copy of The Papers and had one day to read the documents and make a decision about publishing the sensitive material.

In this riveting historical docudrama, Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, L.A. Theatre Works, brings these important days and the subsequent trial to life as The Washington Post struggles with the decision to publish these classified documents. The play follows the debate played out at Ben Bradlee’s home (The Posts’ famous editor, portrayed by Heard), as his staff sorts through the documents and tries to decide if publishing The Papers violates national security.

The play captures their momentous decision and the legal wrangling that followed – leading up to the historic decision that reaffirmed the First Amendment. Our government’s relationship to the media, the citizenry’s right to information and the First Amendment are critically explored against the canvas of the Vietnam War and the secretive Nixon White House.

For over two decades, L.A. Theatre Works has been the leading radio theatre company in the United States, with broadcasts in America on NPR and internationally on the BBC, CBC, and Voice of America.

The original L.A. Theatre Works recording of Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, made in 1991, was directed by Tom Moore and won the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s 1992 Gold Award for outstanding radio production of the year.

Cast is subject to change. The Capitol Center will host an actor’s talk back immediately following the performance. Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. performance of Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers on February 6, 2008 range from $34.50 to $54.50 and can be purchased at the Capitol Center box office, by phone at (603) 225-1111 or online at www.ccanh.com.
