The General Will

The Salvador Kent Company • Professional company

60 minutes•Haldane Theatre
As their approval ratings fall to an all-time low, Sir Prime Minister Kevin and his Junior try to make some decisions the people will actually like. Meanwhile, two Gen-Zers rehearse a play about political futures, but they aren't checking the news. As events become increasingly surreal and violent, ideas become vaguer, and the future looks bleaker. A play that interrogates our choices of resistance, survival and self-progress in crises, The General Will is bombastic, anxious, stupid, lyrical and melancholy as it explores a future of our country, our politics, and our generation. And they're all clowns.
