About
ABOUT FLIP THE SCRIPT: THE GREAT DIVIDE IV
During the 2016 presidential election, the American political landscape ruptured into one of the most heated divides in recent history. In response, Pillsbury House Theatre began The Great Divide project, commissioning 5 new 10-minute plays each year tackling the rising political tensions in America. As we head towards the 2020 election on the heels of a pandemic and a global uprising, that divide has grown even larger.
For the fourth and final installment of The Great Divide, Pillsbury House Theatre has invited five former Great Divide playwrights to write a companion piece to their earlier work that imagines a way to move beyond the divide. By pairing playwrights’ earlier works with pieces written in this election year, Flip the Script: The Great Divide IV is a powerful examination of the past, present and future of our political landscape, set to music by Queen Drea.
