    *"Amy Pelleg and Mark Moore are wonderful as Hillary and Bill.
    Playing real-life people in a comedy is a tightrope walk. Performers
    can't lean too far toward caricature or the play becomes a /Saturday
    Night Live/ sketch, nor can they sharpen their acting chops and do
    an accurate impersonation or the play becomes one big insult. Pelleg
    and Moore find the right balance, and their comic timing is
    impeccable.**"

    --  Bob Abelman, /News-Herald/*

Yes, /that/ Hillary. Playwright Wendy Weiner blends the life of 
protagonist Hillary Rodham with a heavy dose of laughter and Greek 
mythological madness!

As a girl in Illinois, Hillary (Amy Pelleg) worships at the altar of 
Athena (Erin Scerbak), the no-nonsense goddess of wisdom and war. Hil's 
devotion angers Aphrodite (Kacey Durbin), goddess of love and beauty, 
who curses her with Bill Clinton (Mark Moore), described by the play's 
Greek chorus (Mark DePompei and Catherine Remick) as "a man of mythical 
charm and appetites." Zeus and Ken Starr (Don Edelman) also make 
appearances.

Follow Hillary from high school to Wellesley, from Yale Law School to 
Arkansas, and from the White House (where a suspicious intern causes 
some conflict) to the Senate... /Hillary: A Modern Greek Tragedy with a 
(somewhat) Happy Ending/ is a "hillary-ous" comedy that will take you to 
Hell and back!
