SYNOPSIS
Middle-aged and angry about the war in 2005, Joan has camped out in front of the White House. But when her supporters and the media leave, she fears that her efforts have failed. Then, as if in a dream, the spirits of four former First Ladies appear to her: Mary Todd Lincoln, Edith Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Pat Nixon. Together, they come up with a madcap plan: they are going to kidnap Laura Bush and have her convince the President to end the war.
Full of action and fast-paced dialogue, this all-female, six-actor play is easy to stage with minimal set and props.
A politically relevant comedy, *LADIES FIRST runs approximately 90 minutes (with intermission) and is available for world premiere.
