THE OUTSIDER
BY PAUL SLADE SMITH
Played October 1st-16th, 2022 at The Rosette Theater, Austin
THE OUTSIDER was directed by Jeff Hinkle
"Political comedy is a tough game these days — not only have those two terms become pretty much redundant, but ultimately (and paradoxically) it can be hard to muster a laugh at the more tragic real-life consequences of policy-making.
But with “The Outsider,” Paul Slade Smith has managed to write a play about politics that’s not only genuinely and consistently funny, but has something eloquent to say about the meaning of leadership."
San Diego Union-Tribune
Amongst a political scandal, Lieutenant Governor Ned Newley, a bumbling wallflower with a paralyzing fear of public speaking, suddenly finds himself thrust into the Governor's chair. Though Ned seems destined to fail in his new role, his political consultants believe that his obvious shortcomings may prove to be his ticket to widespread popularity.
