The Duchy

Set in 2041, this Dystopian Political Thriller explores the coming partition of the United States into two new entities: The Blue Megalopolis called the ACS and the wild Red State Conglomeration known as the FSA. Based on Denis O’Hare’s novel, “A House Divided”, The Duchy takes place in the independent Duchy of Las Vegas where the two sides have agreed to meet to hammer out a treaty after 8 years of stalemate and dangerously mounting hostility. The play takes place on the day when the “Encounter” is supposed to take place - but of course, nothing ever really goes according to plan in this life.
