History, remixed. In 17th-century Great Britain, the Stuarts””Charles I and Charles II””defend their divine rights, with the help of a whipping boy. In our own time, Jeb and George W. Bush play hardball””both politics and tennis””battling for power, as siblings and statesmen. By turns intimate and epic, Sarah Ruhl”™s astonishing new play reveals the cost of dynastic privilege.
“Jeff Biehl, who plays a spot-on Karl Rove as well as Groom of the Stool, Executioner and Donald J. Trump, shifts from one character to another with apparent ease.” -Â E. Kyle Minor, New Haven Register
