Part Greek tragedy, part blackest comedy, HILLARY AGONISTES presents the cautionary tale of Hillary Clinton, newly elected President of the United States. One bright spring day 65 million people disappear - First Husband Bill among them. Is it the rapture? Pat Robertson, Stephen Hawking, a Papal emissary, the Antichrist, and a Muslim convert named Chelsea offer their opinions as Hillary agonizes and attempts to avert Armageddon.'... The character onstage may be Hillary Rodham Clinton, but it is a Hillary that America is only starting to imagine: President Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Oval Office in the spring of 2009. And in Nick Salamone’s play HILLARY AGONISTES she is wrestling with a crisis of biblical proportions: the sudden disappearance of sixty-five million people worldwide (including her own husband) ... it is also the latest provocative entry in the Hillary Canon, the continuing mapping of Mrs Clinton across the cultural landscape ... In HILLARY AGONISTES ... Mr Salamone treats his fantastical subject matter with serious purpose, and he often gets Mrs Clinton eerily right ...' -Patrick Healy, New York Times'Nick Salamone is a very talented man who has written what must surely be one of the best, full-scale new plays in Edinburgh this year ... HILLARY AGONISTES is a well-constructed satire that deserves to have a life after Edinburgh ...' -Philip Fisher, The British Theatre Guide

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
