Meet incumbent U.S. President Charles Smith. His party affiliation is neither clear nor relevant; his most significant identifying characteristic is that he is undeniably and irredeemably venal. And unpopular.

When you have a David Mamet play - in this case November billed as political satire - with a cartoon turkey on the cover of the playbill, then you know you are in for an evening full of laughter. This show, which premiered on Broadway in 2008, is being mounted by The Hampton Theatre Company at a perfect time given the tumultuous political time we're currently in. In other words, this production will make you laugh even more at politics.

'November,' David Mamet's hilarious and scathingly satirical take on American presidential politics, is the first play of the Hampton Theatre Company's 2016-2017 season, opened on October 20, 2016 at the Quogue Community Hall and runs through November 6.
