Synopsis

Alben Barkley, Truman’s “Veep,” uses folk humor and cracker barrel philosophy to tell his life story.

The play (and banter) begins in rural Kentucky and recollects over 40 years in Washington.

Using hilarious one liners and anecdotes, Barkley skewers presidents, preachers and politicians without sparing himself.
