Robert O'Hara's Zombie: The American blends the high drama of Jacobean tragedy with the bizarre antics of Dr. Strangelove. A political satire set in the year 2063, O'Hara's raucous play feels more timely in 2026 than when it premiered over a decade ago. Thom Valentine, the first openly-gay President of the United States, faces a host of problems: an imminent civil war, the threat of a foreign invasion, and his husband's scandalous betrayals. And that's before we even deal with the Zombies in the basement. With his presidency, his marriage, and his country falling apart, he must decide what he cares most about saving … and what cost he's willing to pay.
