As far as political corruption goes there’s been no shortage of drama over the last eight years. Yet the sheer rot of our political system may at times obscure the motivations and machinations of those in high office. Corruption of course is not limited to the political class.

Campbell Scott plays Early in a Barrow Street Theatre production of The Atheist. Guest host Esther Arma spoke with Scott recently.
