WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Atlantic Theater Company presents the world premiere of Beau Willimon's Farragut North, directed by Tony winner Doug Hughes.
Stephen is a wunderkind press secretary who has built a career that men twice his age would envy. During a tight presidential primary race, however, Stephen's meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned operatives, and his one night stand with a teenage staffer proves to be more complicated than casual. Farragut North is a classic tale of hubris set against a contemporary landscape - about the lust for power and the costs one will endure to achieve it.

You might think post-election euphoria would make Beau Willimon's presidential-campaign drama
Farragut North, now at the Atlantic Theatre, hit the ground as if it were out of step with the times. But the drama is so well-conceived and persuasively written that nothing will stop the cynicism seeping over the edge of the stage like spilled acid from jarring audiences into shock and awe. And director Doug Hughes has taken expert care to bring out the scary implication of every one of Willimon's characters' nuances, nasty plot turns, and lines of barbed-wire dialogue.
We're in the midst of the Iowa caucuses, where Stephen Bellamy (John Gallagher, Jr.), the 25-year-old whiz-kid press secretary[...]
