WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Stretch imagines the final days of Rose Mary Woods, Richard M. Nixon's longtime loyal secretary, as she observes the presidential election of 2004 from her Alliance, Ohio nursing home. She connects the past with the present while thinking about power, loyalty, and lying. Kristin Griffith, the Broadway, film, television actress and longtime Ensemble Studio Theatre member often remembered for her appearance in Woody Allen's first screen drama Interiors will portray Woods.
