Now or Later

"Its brilliance lies in the way Shinn marries ideological debate to psychological complexity, shedding light, laser-bright and precise, on the way in which political discourse informs and shapes individual experience." The Times

Election night in the U.S. and things are looking rosy for the Democratic Party as the likely President-elect, his wife, advisors, and twenty-year-old son John Jnr prepare for victory. When controversial photos of John Jnr begin gathering momentum on the internet, his father's advisors are forced into damage limitation leaving father and son to try and reach an agreement.

Christopher Shinn's potent play examines religion, freedom of expression and personal responsibility. It premiered at London's Royal Court Theatre in September 2008.

This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Dominic Cooke.

„Stralucirea sa sta in felul in care Shinn se casatoreste cu dezbaterile ideologice cu complexitatea psihologica, aruncand lumina, luminos cu laser si precis, in modul in care discursul politic informeaza si modeleaza experienta individuala”. Noaptea TimesElection din SUA si lucrurile arata roz pentru Partidul Democrat, in timp ce probabilul presedinte ales, sotia sa, consilierii si fiul de douazeci de ani, John Jnr, se pregatesc pentru victorie.
