Victory Gardens Theater has cast Cheryl Lynn Bruce as Hillary in the upcoming world premiere of Lucas Hnath's new play Hillary and Clinton.
Hnath's play imagines an alternate-universe version of the 2008 primary election, in which another Hillary, married to another Bill, is running for president of another country called the United States of America. John Apicella will play Bill; the cast also includes Keith Kupferer as "Mark" and Juan Francisco Villa as "Other Guy." Victory Gardens artistic director Chay Yew stages the premiere, which runs April 1–May 1. The real Democratic primary may or may not be decided by the time the show closes.
