Originally written and performed in 1986, this no holds barred satire of militarism and media manipulation tells the story of Spike Spangle, a down on his luck farmer who gets sucked into a whirlwind of celebrity and patriotism as he is invited on billionaire Max Enormous’ Celebrity Space Shuttle. Is this Spike’s dream come true? Or will future generations know Spike as the man who started a war in the Middle East?
