It Starts On The Page: Read ‘Fellow Travelers’ Premiere Script “You’re Wonderful” By Ron Nyswaner
'Fellow Travelers' Creator Ron Nyswaner talks about writing the pilot episode. Part of a franchise featuring top limited series Emmy contenders.
He made his debut as a TV creator with Showtime ‘s limited series Fellow Travelers, a sweeping and tragic love story of two gay men, played by Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey, who start a forbidden romance in McCarthy-era Washington DC. I was drawn to the book’s heroes: Hawkins Fuller and Tim Laughlin, two vastly different men conducting a passionate affair in 1950’s Washington DC, during the government’s crusade against homosexual employees. I would try to create an epic love story covering significant events in LGBTQ history, incorporating my personal experiences as a gay man coming of age in the second half of the twentieth century.
