Play synopsis: Georgetown hostess Hester Ferris runs in an elite circle, opening her home for political foes to lay down arms and raise a glass. When her son’s formidable, conservative wife comes on the scene, the parlor pleasantries of D.C.’s past descend into entrenched posturing and an ultimatum that could implode the family. Follow the Ferris clan from the end of Carter’s presidency through the Reagan era and into Obama’s game-changing inauguration in this “smart, literate and funny” (The New York Times) inside look at the theater of politics and the politics of conversation.

This looks to be a dynamic production. Family and friends are welcome too!

Please RSVP to Carolyn French so she has a general headcount-onthetown.aauwdc@gmail.com or 301-825-6657.
