The Library of Congress is the world’s largest library, offering access to the creative record of the United States - and extensive materials from around the world - both on-site and online. Based on Casey McQuiston’s critically acclaimed New York Times best seller, “Red, White & Royal Blue” marks the feature film writing and directing debut of Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López (“The Inheritance”). Going into damage-control mode, their families and handlers force the two rivals into a staged “truce.” But as Alex and Henry’s icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected. Separated by an ocean, their long-running feud hasn’t really been an issue, until a disastrous - and very public - altercation at a royal event becomes tabloid fodder, driving a potential wedge in U.S./British relations at the worst possible time. Born and raised in southern Louisiana, Casey now lives in New York City with a poodle mix named Pepper.Īlex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the President of the United States (Uma Thurman), and Britain’s Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) have a lot in common: Stunning good looks, undeniable charisma, international popularity … and a total disdain for each other. 1 New York Times bestselling author of romantic comedies, including “One Last Stop,” “I Kissed Shara Wheeler,” and “Red, White & Royal Blue,” whose writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Bon Appetit. Attendees will hear conversations that reflect their lived experiences and stories, with presentations for every type of reader.
