This play focuses on Katherine Graham's troubled marriage, with the title referring to the night Phil Graham takes his life with a hunting rifle. Three days later, Katherine gathered her inner strength to face a Board of Directors, all men, who expected her to acquiesce to what was the prevailing thought that the Washington Post would no longer be in her family. But she knew she had the strength to take over and emerge as a leader, becoming publisher and CEO of the Post.
