Description 'I'm Walt Disney. This is a screenplay I wrote. It's about me.' Lucas Hnath's hit play opens with that declaration as it is tonight that Walt is going to read you a screenplay he wrote. It's about his last days on earth. It's about a city he's going to build that's going to change the world. And it's about his brother. It's about everyone who loves him so much, and it's about how sad they're going to be when he's gone. Right? I mean, how can they live without him? How can anyone live without him? An adrenaline-charged odyssey, a supersonic portrait of a man who tried to abolish reality.
