Vicuña & The American Epilogue

From the Pulitzer Prize-finalist and Tony-nominated playwright of Other Desert Cities comes this hit, Trump-inspired satire about an Iranian tailor and his apprentice who struggle to make a custom-suit out of vicuña wool for an unlikely customer—a real-estate tycoon preparing for his second presidential debate.

Originally produced to acclaim during the 2016 election, this newly compressed version is followed by a world premiere epilogue drawn from the playwright’s own headline-making experience as victim of an assault in DC on the night of the inauguration at the hands of a Trump supporter. Originally produced to acclaim during the 2016 election, this new version is followed by a world premiere epilogue which imagines an America 12 years in the future, grappling with the effects of a reckless administration. All together, Vicuna & The American Epilogue asks the critical questions: How did we get here and what do we do now?

“…probably the most LETHAL, RUTHLESS and COMPREHENSIVE satire/indictment of a politician EVER PENNED by an American playwright.” -Neal Weaver, Stage Raw
