From across the room I saw the President, torchlight playing across his
visage.
And the violins began, and the low rumble of the timpani.
I screamed. I ran.
An old farmhouse upstate. Snow is falling. Mountains are falling.
Something is breaking apart.
You are formally invited to dinner with the 45th President of the United
States.
Anne Washburn (The Twilight Zone, Mr Burns) returns with her
sinister and sensational play, now updated in a special dual edition to
coincide with its audio premiere on WNYC Public Radio, to be aired in
October 2020 in partnership with New York Public Theater.
As part of a bold experiment to write a history play about the present,
this edition includes both the stage and audio versions of the play, as
well as extensive commentary from the writer herself about the
significant changes made to it in reaction to the unprecedented crises
and protest movements of 2020.
