The Tragedy of President George II James G. Moose

The Tragedy of President George II tells the epic story of the two Bush Presidencies in language adapted from Shakespeare?s history plays. Using words that Shakespeare created for his English Kings Henry IV and Henry V, the play depicts the wars and rebellions of American Presidents George I and George II. The play is both a celebration of, and tribute to, Shakespeare's history plays, and uses their language, slightly modernized, in each and every scene. As the strikingly similar power struggles of the Plantagenets and Bushes reveal, the means by which the mighty maintain dominion change little with time.
