As part of his continuing quest to exert dominance over all cultural arenas, James Franco is adding “theater director†to his resume. According to the New York Times, Franco will direct a version of Robert Boswell’s “The Long Shrift,†about a man recently released from jail after being accused of rape as a teenager. The performances will take place from July 7 to August 23 as part of Rattlestick Playwrights Theater’s 20th anniversary season. If it doesn’t get good reviews, we are definitely going to be hearing about it on Instagram.
