If you want to see the live performance, book the premiere date. We know that the single live performance might not suit everyone’s schedule, so we’ve arranged an “encore” showing like the old Sunday Night movies or a television re-run. You can book a single episode or take in all four parts to immerse yourself. This four-episode series, WHAT THE HELL IS A REPUBLIC, ANYWAY?, brings their collaborative process of theatre-making to the forefront as they turn to the Roman Republic and countdown to the 2020 election. NYTW Usual Suspects O’Hare and Peterson return to NYTW following their acclaimed 2012 production of An Iliad. They ask: is it possible to reach consensus? How can two points of view converge in a united vision? Can a democratic system sustain itself in a just way? Is there any way our republic can survive? As they dive deep into this history, O’Hare and Peterson expose their own process, demonstrating the difficulties around collaboration. This political entity lasted for nearly 500 years before it slid into an autocratic empire. In this tumultuous moment for American democracy, playwrights Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson find it increasingly urgent to focus on what America can learn from the republic that inspired ours: the Roman Republic. An interactive examination of community, democracy and what made the Roman Republic fall.
