	Description:		Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Bruce Norris joins us to discuss The Low Road, along with director Michael Greif and actor Chukwudi Iwuji, who stars in it. Set in the 18th century, The Low Road imagines America’s first laissez-faire capitalist, a young man inspired by a chance encounter with Adam Smith to put his faith in the free market. But his path to riches becomes inextricably entangled with that of an educated slave, a man who knows from experience that one person's profit is another’s loss, in this parable about the true cost of inequality. Playing at the Public Theater through April 1. This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
