“Hilary and Clinton” will receive its World Premiere at Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago in Spring 2016. A synopsis of the play: Imagine that in an alternate universe, a woman named Hillary is trying to become president of a country called the United States of America. In a hotel room in New Hampshire in 2008, Hilary is poised to lose her last Primary Election. When her husband Bill arrives in the middle of the night to offer support, he turns the campaign upside down. Hnath’s Primary Election fantasy explores the extraordinary sacrifices one is willing to make in order to gain ultimate power.
