In 1962, Teddy Kennedy, notorious playboy, runt of the litter and unremarkable junior senator from Massachusetts, seems content to defer to the presidential ambitions of his older brothers Jack and Bobby. In a few short years, however, the boy who learned to keep the peace by making his mother Rose laugh until she cried, will find himself the most unlikely remaining heir to his father's ambition. Relying on his charming willingness to play the innocent, (even sometimes the fool) in order to move legislation forward, it will be Teddy, not Bobby, not Joe, nor Jack who will have the greatest impact on the shape and the tone of the American Experiment in the last years of the 20th Century.
Originally one of three plays commissioned by Resonance Ensemble for their Henry IV part 1 season.
