George + George: Comedy of Founding Fathers

A new comedy called George + George premiered at the Spoleto Festival USA, blending historical satire with modern political commentary. Written by Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson—known for serious work—this staged reading offers a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of a play that pokes fun at the founding fathers and America’s revolutionary roots. With a narrator guiding the audience and actors reading scripts aloud, it’s a playful, slightly awkward romp that’s still finding its voice. While some feel it lacks sharper bite, the talent behind it and its fresh take on history make it a fascinating experiment in theater and political humor.
