by Gore Vidal
A Political Satire set at a fictional 1960 Presidential nominating convention in Philadelphia complete with backroom deal making, corrupting influence of television cameras, backstabbing battles for delegates and endorsements. Joseph Cantwell, the ambitious Populist senator will use any means to get the nomination, while Secretary of State William Russell, the Liberal intellectual struggles to maintain his principles. Each battling for the endorsement of the outgoing president, who enjoys playing one off against the other. You will be able to cast your vote at intermission.
