Farragut North is premiering at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood June 16th - July 26
Although the play contains mature themes and salty langugage, the well-written drama was awarded a grant by the Edgerton Foundation for new American Plays in 2007
Farragut first opened at the Atlantic Theatre company in the fall of 2008 to rave reviews.
The drama is set against the backdrop of a political race.
Stephen ( Chris Pine of Star Trek Fame) is a press secretary who works in the employ of an ambitious up-and-coming candidate.
His heart set on the seat of power, the novice boldly goes forward in pursuit of his political goals, sure that he and his seasoned campaign manager, Paul (Sex and the City's Chris Noth) can steer their campaign successfully into the West Wing.
But, before the polls close at the primaries, Stephen's dreams are shattered as he falls victims to backroom politics and the machinations of veteran operatives and the likes of a seductive intern (Olivia Thirby; Juno).
According to press releases, Farragut North is a timely cautionary tale about hubris, loyalty, and the lust for power.
Sit up and take notice, Barack!
