Remember Alan Hruska, the former Cravath, Swaine & Moore partner turned playwright, novelist and filmmaker? Recently, the 83-year-old former litigator opened his play “Ring Twice for Miranda” at City Center in New York, a highly prestigious off-Broadway venue.

Let me give you three quick reasons why you should see it. First, it’s pretty good theater (the writing is witty, and the actors are terrific, particularly Katie Kleiger, who plays the title role); second, the play feels extremely timely (a self-absorbed leader rules over his anxious subjects—need I say more?); and third, it’s by one of us.
