Hailed by The Economist as "a timely, almost revolutionary work," The Originalist follows a bright, liberal law school graduate as she embarks on a nerve-jangling clerkship with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. As infuriating a sparring partner as she often discovers him to be, he also surprises her by being an unexpected mentor. With Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court still empty, The Originalist looks into the complexities of one of the most polarizing Justices of all time. Whatever your personal politics, this Pasadena Playhouse production is a powerful examination of the people who spend their lives defending their interpretation of the truth.
