Name of the play: 44 Plays for 44 Presidents

What the play is about: The play gave a peek inside the lives of 44 Presidents who held office in the United States. The play depicted their mistakes and successes when in power. Through this play, I got to know a lot about President George Bush and Barack Obama, who are considered to be the game-changing presidents in American history.

The best part about this play was its all-female cast. The play was performed by seven women who delightfully put forth the biographical surveys of the presidents of America. The playwrights of the show clearly did a great deal of research to come up with such interesting pieces of information of the presidents.

The narrative style was refreshing because it was difficult to predict what you might see next. Also, for people having limited knowledge about American politics, this play was a good medium to educate them on American politics. The play was most useful for those who were to cast their votes for the first time in 2016. I learned a lot about each president’s philosophy. For instance, I got to know about George Washington’s philosophy. He said “no man should seek the office of President; rather, the office should seek out the man devoid of personal ambition to serve.” The script and cast matched well for an exceptional play like this.
