The world is shut down for Covid, pre-vaccines, and empty-nesters George and Martha are muddling through their strange and restricted new world, nervously awaiting Election Day 2020. Fantastical elements of magical realism keep appearing in their suburban home. Is Martha dreaming that Baby Trump is riding a tricycle in her living room? Strange hooded figures and protestors appear in the night. Are these dreams or are Martha's Cassandra-like visions real? Martha turns to the constellations for comfort and George tries to keep it real by keeping a watchful eye on the news. GEORGE and MARTHA are everyman and everywoman inspired by the first couple Martha and George Washington, the couple in Edward Albee’s Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolfe, and two hippos who are best friends in the children’s book series by James Marshall.
