David Mamet’s Oval Office satire depicts one day in the life of a beleagueredAmerican commander-in-chief.
It’s November in a Presidential election year, andincumbent Charles Smith’s chances for reelection are looking grim. Approval ratingsare down, his money’s running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. Though hisstaff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her post-WhiteHouse life, Chuck isn’t ready to give up just yet.
Amidst the biggest fight of hispolitical career, the President has to find time to pardon a couple of turkeys—saving them from the slaughter before Thanksgiving—and this simple PR event inspiresSmith to risk it all in attempt to win back public support.
With Mamet’s characteristicno-holds-barred style, November is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of Americatoday and the lengths to which people will go to win.
