First
seen in America in 2003, the two plays 'Daughters of the Revolution'
and 'Mothers Against' will be performed at the Rep Theatre from
6th-13th March.
The plays which can be seen in any order, explore what happened
to the revolutionary fervour that took hold of both the Right and
the Left in the 1960s, and how it has been carried on into politics
today.
| Daughters
Of The Revolution... |
Michael
Bern, a former campus radical and retiring community college dean,
discovers that the political collective of which he was a prominent
member in the 1960s had been infiltrated and betrayed to the FBI
by one of their own.
Michael's discovery brings with it consequences for his career and
marriage long after he thought that he had left his radical past
behind.
As he sets out on a journey to find the traitor, he comes to terms
with the man he has become and the relative success, or failure,
of his political ideals.
(Daughters Of The Revolution runs for approximately 3 hours)
It's
five weeks before the election and Sheldon Vine, the Republican
candidate for governor, has gathered together his key advisors to
prepare for a big debate with his Democratic opponent.

Vine's
own leanings are libertarian, but revealing his true beliefs and
running a forthright campaign would risk alienating the voters.
Over the course of the weekend one thing becomes clear; the battle
over what kind of campaign to run is the most crucial of his career.
The implications could change his entire life.
