  • Summary

  • Writer and actor Mitchell Bisschop discusses his new one-man show Royko: The Toughest Man in Chicago, now running at the Chopin Theater until the end of September (2024). Bisschop shares his inspirations for the show, including talking to Royko's surviving friends and relatives; how he based his script on Royko's 34-year career and over 7500 columns; how Royko – like a Shakespearean fool – told truth to power and ended up winning a Pulitzer Prize; how he got to know Royko's "leg creatures;" and how Mike Royko asked the questions nobody else was asking. (LENGTH 18:20)
