Set in the far distant future, One Empire, Under God is an epic political drama which tells the story of how an emotionally disturbed young man - with the help of virtual media technology - is able to rise to political power by inciting an uprising against America's openly atheist president, and subverting democratic and military rule throughout Western civilization, paving the way for him and his descendants to rule for generations to come. Every step toward a more perfect union is followed by an enormous reactionary backlash. That historical trend remains very much alive in the future, as seen in this provocative critique of nationalism, imperialism, and religious extremism.
Directed by Andrés Gallardo Bustillo, (SDC Member) the play was presented earlier this year as an online virtual production via Zoom.
