FARRAGUT NORTH
This 2008 play, written by Beau Willimon, was loosely based on the 2004 Democratic Primary campaign of Howard Dean. A classic tale of hubris set against a contemporary landscape about the lust for power and the costs one will endure to achieve it. It premiered at the Atlantic Theater Company in New York City directed by Doug Hughes and starred Chris Noth (Sex and the City, John Gallagher, Jr. (Spring Awakening) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno). The production then transferred to the Geffen Playhouse in June 2009 with Noth, Thirlby, and Chris Pine (Star Trek). Currently, the play is being made into a feature film, The Ides of March.
