The revolution
will be edited for television.
In a bunker somewhere
under Washington D.C., a bomb is being constructed. A hostage
is bound. A reporter is ushered in. Martyrs will be made by force
and lives will be advanced by obsession. In the great stand-off
between terrorism and media, between motive and message, between
sincerity and manipulation...one man has a master plan. And that
man will win.

I ain't sure,
but this might just be a parole violation.
Sometimes intolerance
just so rampant, it can make a man plain give up...'specially
if his only friend is an ignorant fool. But what can you do?
Ex-cons gotta stick together, and the back roads of South Carolina
ain't no place to expect a handout. Easy enough to steal, as
long as you got your wits about you and you ain't easily profiled.
Sometimes there's no choice between right and easy...sometimes
there's only one road to go. Which is why these two be doomed
to fail afore redemption comes.

White House. Oval Office. Sequined jacket.
A chronological,
biographical survey of each of the 44 men who have held one of
the most revered and regrettable positions of power on earth.
Their miracles and misfires are celebrated by a fistful of actors
either taking on the presidential burden or stealing it from
others while moving through comedic and tragic moments, revelations,
reconstructions, and mini-musicals. Where has the presidency
gone since its fall from paradise? Where will it continue on
to? And how much responsibility do we—the people—hold?
44 Plays for 44 Presidents is a love song to every Mad
Tom, Tricky Dick, and William Henry Harri-who.
