| Description |
Hugely resonant in today's celebrity-obsessed society, this anarchic revue looks at the lives, loves and lunacy of 9 ordinary folk – who could have grown up to be President of the United States, but didn't. They tried to kill him instead. While their motives range from revolutionary idealism to a dyspeptic tummy, we witness their shared belief in their potential magnificence as they gather in a funhouse shooting gallery outside of time. Distinguished guests include Lee Harvey Oswald, Charlie Manson acolyte Squeaky Fromme and Jodie Foster's stalker John Hinckley. They want to grab headlines, get the girl, or see their name in lights. They want a clear shot at the big time. In Sondheim's killer thriller, one man's American dream can become a nation's nightmare. |
