Who was Mary Jo Kopechne? The answer to a trivia question? The woman who kept Ted Kennedy from being President? The ultimate #MeToo victim? The Death and Life of Mary Jo Kopechne imagines who this young woman was and who she could have been had she not gotten in the car with the senator. What if the two dead Kennedy brothers, JFK and RFK, had shown up to bail out their kid brother? What if Mary Jo Kopechne had the chance to confront them? And what if things had gone differently that fateful night in July of 1969, just 24 hours before man landed on the moon -- and three years before Richard Nixon inhabited the White House? A timely dramedy of magic realism and revisionist history told with wit and insight, The Death and Life of Mary Jo Kopechne comes to the Odyssey Theatre in L.A.
