"Set against the backdrop of a close presidential race, Stephen ( Star Trek 's Chris Pine) is a young press secretary working for a fast-rising candidate. With confidence and power beyond his years, he’s convinced that he and seasoned campaign manager, Paul ( Sex & the City 's Chris Noth), can steer their team into the west wing without breaking a sweat. But before the polls close at the primaries, Stephen’s perceived invincibility is shattered as he falls prey to backroom politics, the manipulations of veteran operatives and the wiles of a seductive young intern ( Juno 's Olivia Thirlby). With quick-witted banter and an inside look into the world of politics, Farragut North is a timely tale of hubris, loyalty and the lust for power. " Farragut North run at the Geffen Playhouse is only until July 26th; so get your tickets fast before your chance to see it goes!
Side Notes: Tony Award winning actor (SA) John Gallagher Jr. stared in the Off-Broadway run with Noth in the Fall of 2008. Also the production is directed by Doug Hughes (Tony Award for Doubt)
"I dont know what I would do without you Steve, How about a raise?"-lines from Farragut North
