Synopsis
November
Published by Vintage Books
4 Male 1 Female
It's November in a Presidential election year, and incumbent Charles Smith's chances for reelection are looking grim
Approval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent
Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her post-White House life, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet
Amidst the biggest fight of his political career, the President has to find time to pardon a couple of turkeys - saving them from the slaughter before Thanksgiving - and this simple PR event inspires Smith to risk it all in attempt to win back public support
With Mamet's characteristic no-holds-barred style, November is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of America today and the lengths to which people will go to win
