Not too long ago, Next Act theatre staged a really compelling script with Jason Wells' Perfect Mendacity--the story of a man trying to cheat a lie detector test. This coming weekend, Racine's Over Our Head Players brings another work by the contemporary American playwright with The North Plan. It's a contemporary comic drama. It's set in a world where a group has seized power in Washington. A bureaucrat for the State Department runs off with the new regime's enemies list and things get weird.
Much like Perfect Mendacity, The North Plan appears to be an entertaining stage narrative with disturbing real-world insight that should make for an interesting trip to the theatre a little south of Milwaukee.
The North Plan runs November 23rd through December 8th at the Sixth Street Theatre on 318 Sixth Street in Racine. For ticket reservations, call 262-632-6802 or visit Over Our Head online.
