Synopsis: The fate of the free world is put into question by an ill-timed four-letter word uttered by the Commander in Chief. Enter: seven brilliant and beleaguered women in the West Wing, fighting tooth and nail to keep this PR nightmare from becoming a global catastrophe. This raucous new play arrives just in time for election season!
