SYNOPSIS
World Premiere
by BEAU WILLIMON
directed by DOUG HUGHES
Stephen (John Gallagher, Jr.) is a wunderkind press secretary who has built a career that men twice his age would envy. During a tight presidential primary race, however, Stephen's meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned operatives, and his one night stand with a teenage staffer proves to be more complicated than casual. Farragut North is a classic tale of hubris set against a contemporary landscape - about the lust for power and the costs one will endure to acheive it.
FARRAGUT NORTH is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Award.
