New Orleans, Inishmore, Band-Aid
The devastation of Katrina has also created an historic opportunity to rebuild — but it blew open a long-simmering battle over how to design cities. Kurt talks with the urban planners who are offering competing visions of New Orleans’ future. We’ll also hear from a photographer who reinvented the camera, and find out why the new play The Lieutenant of Inishmore needs 5 gallons of stage blood per show.
