Bill Clinton Hercules
So this play I am writing (tentatively) called Bill
Clinton Hercules is going to the Fringe! Great luck!!! It only took
twelve years of concerted effort.
Bill Clinton Hercules is a one-man biopic performed as a
fantasy TED Talk about Clinton’s favourite play, Cure at Troy by Seamus
Heaney but is really a study of his heart and the future betrayal of Hillary.
The play will be performed by Kansas City actor and artistic
director Bob Paisley and directed by my ace in the hole in this operation, Guy
Masterson.
Guy asked me to write the play when he found out that I had
lived in Washington and was one (of many) lawyers representing Clinton in
Jones v Clinton. I then informed him that of course everything
interesting I knew was privileged and couldn’t be put into a play. Fortunately
it was too late for him to back out.
The Fringe is the largest arts festival in Europe. It takes
place in Edinburgh, in Scotland, about a 4 hour train journey (extremely
pleasant) from London or Cambridge. It runs August 1 -25 this year. You will be
able to buy tickets and get more information at the EdFringe and Assembly
websites:
Way before August, in fact, two weeks from Monday, we have a
trial run in Cambridge. We were lucky enough to be selected to perform an
excerpt at The Junction in a few weeks. It’s a schoolnight and a Monday which
is hardly ideal and the excerpt will only be ten minutes, there will be other
local artists presenting their work. It would be great if you wanted to come.
Please consider yourself invited.
Tickets are £5.
