Director: Vada Russell

This acclaimed one-man play explores the strategems, cynicism and passion brought to politics by Lee Atwater, self-styled master of negative campaigning and the fun-lovin' Dixie dude equally at home in the world of delta blues and "dirty tricks" political strategists.

Harvey LeRoy "Lee" Atwater (1951- 1991) was an American political consultant and strategist to the Republican Party. He was an advisor of U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

George H. W. Bush's main political advisor was no stranger to controversy. From his early days learning the ropes from Strom Thurmond, to introducing Reagan to the power of MTV, to his successful direction of G.W. Bush's 1988 presidential campaign, Atwater was simultaneously reviled and revered -- depending on whether he was on your side. "Atwater.." is a one-man tour de force about an immensely clever, wickedly funny, and ruthless kingmaker - from a blues-loving frat boy to brain cancer victim confronting a lifetime of Machiavellian tactics, best remembered for turning black convict Willie Horton into a national symbol of the fear of crime.
