EMOTIONS ARE STUPID AND I AM SMART
Athena, the greek goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, have been at war since time immemorial. When a young girl named Hillary Rodham devotes herself to Athena alone, Aphrodite takes revenge by having her fall in love with a man of mythical charm and appetites: Bill Clinton.
“A refreshingly funny and unexpected interpretation of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s life in politics… after an hour and a half of re-airing the dirty laundry of one of the most overanalyzed figures in politics, who’d have thought we’d be sorry to see the show end?” — Variety
“The company has found new delights in one of the most familiar seasonal stories of all…. the laughs come steadily.” — The New York Times
“No story is played out if it’s played right. Wendy Weiner’s Mount Olympus spin on Hillary is cringingly, groaningly fantastic.” — Backstage
