Something Fishy
Marcia Kash
Vicuña
by Jon Robin Baitz
Synopsis
THE STORY: A tailor to the wealthy, powerful, and famous struggles to serve a very unusual client: a blustering real-estate tycoon and reality-TV star who—to everyone’s surprise—becomes a major party’s nominee for president.
As the election spins out of control, the tailor and his apprentice are forced to examine their roles as confidants and image-makers for the candidate…and whether the right suit has the power to clinch the presidency.
Press Reviews
"…there are plenty of laughs…[Baitz] writes incisive and colorful dialogue peppered with passages of political acuity…” —The Hollywood Reporter. “[VICUÑA is] an honest to goodness comedy…elaborately worked out (in the old-fashioned Broadway way of S.N. Behrman and George S. Kaufman)…with just enough wit and wisdom…In Baitz’s hands, comedy and menace work together…” —Los Angeles Times. “ …withering political satire…a uniquely fresh theater experience…"
— Variety
