Kathleen Turner To Portray Molly Ivins In World Premiere Play, Playbill reported on December 12, 2009:

"Philadelphia Theatre Company will premiere 'Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins,' by Margaret Engel and Allison Engel, to feature Tony Award nominee Kathleen Turner as the fiery political columnist.

Ivins' column was syndicated in over 350 newspapers nationwide. Her voice was developed in the early 1970s as the co-editor of the profane bi-weekly political paper The Texas Observer, which remained her spiritual home. She also wrote for Esquire, Atlantic Monthly and The Nation. She died in 2007 after a battle with breast cancer.

She coined the nickname "Shrub" for George W. Bush, the subject of her two best-selling books: "Shrub: The Short but Happy Political Life of George W. Bush" and "Bushwhacked."
