Violet Chandler is at a loss when her husband, a promising presidential candidate, dies in the arms of his mistress. Not content with fading into obscurity, she decides that if she can't be the wife of the president, she'll be the mother of the president. With the help of her strategic brother-in-law, they push her lackluster son, Cal, into the limelight. Along the way they have to teach him to be the perfect citizen and ideal politician. In an unrelenting critique of the American bureaucratic system, the show presents a brutally entertaining and highly dysfunctional almost-first family. Performances continue through September 20.
