[1] In a strategic move, the Louisville Repertory Company has decided to take full advantage of election season.
Opening Friday, October 26th is the political comedy November, the story of a sitting president running for reelection.
How ironic.
The play, written by David Mamet, is a satirical spoof on American politics.
Mamet, who has a penchant for colorful language in his scripts, has penned a plethora of films and plays over the past three decades, from the award-winning Glengarry Glen Ross to The Untouchables to the notable television series The Unit.
November in Louisville is running concurrently with a production in Los Angeles at the hallowed Mark Taper Forum, starring former Desperate Housewife and accomplished stage actor Felicity Huffman.
The Louisville production is directed by local celebrity J.R. Stuart, a long-time actor and director who has been seen in over 125 productions at Derby Dinner Playhouse [3].
November opens Friday, October 26th at 8pm at the MeX at the Kentucky Center. Tickets are $16 and can be purchased online via the Louisville Repertory Company [4] or by calling the Kentucky Center box office at 502-584-7777.
The production runs through November 4th—two days before Election Day.
