Stretch (a fantasia)
by Susan Bernfield

Rose Mary Woods -- Richard Nixon's secretary of 23 years -- testified that a slip of her foot when she reached for the phone produced the blank and buzzy Watergate tape.

In this inventive, engaging play, we meet this audacious woman in her final days, spent in an Ohio nursing home observing the tense presidential election of 2004.

Her dreams fraught with jumbled recollections of her service under Nixon, she is challenged by her fellow nursing home residents to reconcile her unflagging loyalty with the consequences of her actions.
