    Using the text of a Harper's Magazine Forum as ignition, Hangdog Theater launches the backroom candor of six conservative strategists into absurdist horror. "A Revolution, or Business as Usual?" (Harper's, 3/95) leaps off the page and into a realm where rhetoric leads to a cha-cha dance, allegiances turn to choke-holds and the well-oiled thought machine churns like never before. Washington's finest conservative call boys –Ralph Reed, Frank Luntz, Mike Murphy, William Kristol, James Pinkerton, and David Frum–under the moderation of Harper's senior editor Paul Tough, devolve into delusions of grandeur and an all-new vision of totalitarianism cloaked in wolf's clothing.

    "Clearly a director of talent...[his] vision is clever, his choreography riveting...and his actors move with brisk synchronicity"

    — Francine Russo,  The Village Voice
