Nimrod Act I
from Nimrod Hosted by Phinneas Kiyomura, Kirsten Vangsness
Act 1 introduces us to the world of the Nimrod Administration (a criminal businessman’s presidency in its final year) through the eyes of Lani, a beleaguered Slovenian First Lady. Lani can’t wait to cash out at the end of this single term presidential mis-adventure. But strange political winds blow on the horizon and fate may have other plans. After the performance, Kirsten Vangsness, who plays the titular role of Nimrod, and Phinneas Kiyomura, playwright of Nimrod, break down Act 1, talk about why this play was written and why it was written this way and set the table for Act 2. Written by Phinneas Kiyomura, directed by Alina Phelan Ballou and starring Kirsten Vangsness.
