Lucas Hnath: Hillary and Clinton, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A Machiavellian meditation on the sacrifices politicians will make to reach office. —The Economist
In 2008, in an alternate universe where anything can happen, a woman named Hillary Clinton is running for president in the United States of America. Struggling in Iowa against her more charismatic opponent (“The Other Guy”), she calls on her husband Bill for support. Bill offers her a deal, but when Hillary agrees to his help, she gets far more than she bargained for…
With Hillary and Clinton, Lucas Hnath takes a layered look at a political climate much like our own and deftly examines the sacrifices that must be made in order to obtain power. He offers up an audacious, whip-smart, highly entertaining piece of writing with a political immediacy generally lacking in the theater, where plays get locked and set much too far in advance, and where some deep diving into the ideology or emotion of the moment thus becomes all too rare (Chicago Tribune).
