100 Days to go! or George and Martha countdown to the 2020 election
A staged reading.
The world is shut down for Covid, pre-vaccines, and empty-nesters George and Martha are muddling through their strange and restricted new world, nervously awaiting Election Day 2020. Fantastical elements of magical realism keep appearing in their suburban home. Is Martha dreaming that Baby Trump is riding a tricycle in her living room? Strange hooded figures appear in the night. Are Martha’s Cassandra-like dreams prescient visions or reality? Martha nervously cleans and turns to the stars where four wise women offer comfort. George keeps a watchful eye on the news. GEORGE and MARTHA are everyman and everywoman inspired by the first couple Martha and George Washington and the two hippos who are best friends in the children’s book series by James Marshall.
