Mastergate And Power Failure

Synopsis

2 political satires for the stage

The complete scripts to two of Larry Gelbart's most popular and powerful political satires.

Review of Mastergate: “If George Orwell were a gag writer, he could have written Mastergate.

Larry Gelbart's scathingly funny takeoff on the Iran-Contra hearings is a spiky cactus flower in the desert of American political theatre.”

– Jack Kroll, Newsweek.

Review of Power Failure: “There is in his broad etching all the ethical outrage of an Arthur Miller kvetching.

And, oh, so much more fun!” – Carolyn Clay, The Boston Phoenix.
