Publisher's Synopsis
THE PARTY LINE is a historical drama. Using real and fictional characters, it intermingles the story of Walter Duranty - the New York Times' Pulitzer Prize-winning Moscow correspondent in the 1930s - with the more contemporary story of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn who was assassinated in 2002, on the eve of becoming prime minister. Sheryl Longin and Roger L. Simon have accomplished a breathtaking feat in their imaginative and topical play, The Party Line. The title, as students of Communism know, refers to one's adherence to the current position on an issue as outlined by the Communist Party in its heyday. . . .
