A MORE PERFECT UNION by Vern Thiessen
directed by Ron Russell
Two lawyers clerking at the United States Supreme Court have very different backgrounds and opposing political views. When they fall in love, their relationship challenges their ethics and careers, as well as threatens to expose a dirty little secret about the Highest Court in our land. This serious comedy about justice, compromise, and what America wears underneath its fancy robes is written by Governor General’s Award Winner, Vern Thiessen (author of Einstein’s Gift, Apple, Shakespeare’s Will).
Featuring Melissa Friedman & Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr.
