John Lithgow brings magic of the bedtime story to Broadway
When John Lithgow was a child, his father would act out his bedtime stories, a tradition he carried on when his father grew ill later in life. Now Lithgow brings his own tradition of storytelling to a one-man show on Broadway, called “Stories by Heart.” Jeffrey Brown talks to the actor about our human need to tell tales and his career in theater and film.
