The Culture Project at 45 Bleecker
October 25, 2004

"It was certainly déjà vu all over again at 45 Bleecker Street; The Chicago 7 were back on trial for conspiring to commit violence on the streets of Mayor Richard J. Daley’s fair city during the Democratic National Convention of 1968. Only this was 36 years later and the event was Synapse Productions' one-night-only reading of a crisp, sharp transcript-based 1979 play 'The Chicago Conspiracy Trial.' At intermission, a gentleman walked up to Bill Buell, the actor playing the late William J. Kunstler, lead defense attorney of the Chicago Seven, and thanked him with: 'This brings it all back. Very painful.' It did, it does, indeed."
