HILLARY opened to great reviews in 2008 and sold out its run at The Living Theatre. Even better, many still find Wendy's play the most plausible explanation for certain political phenomena!
Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, have been at war since time immemorial.
When a young girl named Hillary Rodham devotes herself to Athena alone—spurning romance, make-up, and attractive hairstyles—Aphrodite takes revenge, having her fall in love with a man of mythical charm and appetites: Bill Clinton.
"Refreshingly funny & unexpected" -- Variety
"A screwball version of recent history… hilarious!"
-- The New York Times
"Emotions are stupid & I am smart." – Hillary
