Fund for Peace Initiatives is currently working on a  with Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Rhodes to plan and produce a play, Reykjavik, in Stanford, Palo Alto (California) with anticipated date January 2012. Rhodes writes about the play: “my play based on the historic summit meeting between Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik, Iceland, on 11 – 12 October 1986, is receiving staged readings nationwide. Paul Newman advised me on writing Reykjavik; he read the third draft just weeks before his death. He was a warm, modest, decent, generous man; his death on 27 September 2008 carried away one of the good people of the world. Reykjavik is dedicated to him.”
