Zombie: The American at Woolly Mammoth Theatre

The year is 2063 and Thom Valentine, the first openly gay President of the United States, faces a host of problems -- from an imminent civil war to the threat of an African invasion to an adulterous First Gentleman. To make matters worse, there are zombies in the basement of the White House! From the warped imagination of playwright-in-residence Robert O' Hara comes Zombie: The American, a classically-inspired sci-fi thriller about a young Commander-in-Chief searching for the strength to hold our union together. With his power, his marriage, and the nation's well-being at stake, Valentine must decide what he cares most about saving...and at what cost. O'Hara describes his gory political satire as "a cross between Jacobean tragedy and Dr. Strangelove. The world premiere of this dystopian cautionary tale hits the stage at D.C.'s Wooly Mammoth Theatre.
