The North Plan at Elephant Theatre

The North Plan

Elephant Theatre
6322 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood

When a ruthless splinter group seizes power in Washington, a bureaucrat for the State Department runs off with the new regime's top-secret Enemies List. With Department of Homeland Security agents trailing him, he finds himself trapped in a police station in a small Missouri town. His last hope for survival is in the people around him: an unsympathetic police chief, an ambivalent administrative assistant, and a fellow prisoner a motor-mouthed local who's turned herself in for drunk driving. The North Plan is a sharp, dark, dystopian comedy set in the here and now.

"...Though the farce fitfully kicks in with Act 2, a tediously expository first act and Carney's sledgehammer performance lends the evening all the comic appeal of Seven Days in May as played by Lucille Ball."

"...Director David Fofi keeps the action moving briskly but really needs to be taken to task for allowing the show to deteriorate in the final moments. You are willing to forgive the absurdities in the script but the unconvincing showdown is unforgiveable. It ruined for me what could have been a very enjoyable evening in the theater."

"...Imagine that the fate of the entire free world, or of these United States at the very least, depended upon a single individual … who just happened to be the foulest-mouthed, reddest-necked single mom in all of small-town southern Missouri. Playwright Jason Wells does just this in his uproarious, outrageous, yet frighteningly plausible political comedy thriller The North Plan, the funniest/ edgiest show in town and a terrific welcome back to Elephant Theatre Company."
