All Things Equal The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

March 29 2026

7:30 p.m

Attucks Theatre 1010 Church St, Norfolk, VA 23510 Price: Prices May Vary

Written by Tony Award Winning playwright RUPERT HOLMES
Starring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Directed by Laley Lippard

In this moving, inspiring play, Supreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey fascinating and often funny moments of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the 1970s… and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of American justice–an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world.
