Just in time for the 2012 election, David Mamet’s fiendishlyfunny “November” comes to the Taper. It’s a few days before a
presidential election and incumbent Charles Smith is in for a rough month -
- his campaign funds are running out, his poll numbers are “lower than
Gandhi’s cholesterol” and the sofa needs to be reupholstered … all in all, it
looks like the Thanksgiving turkey will have a better holiday season. But
although his speechwriter seems to have defected, his chief of staff has all
but given up and his wife is planning for her post-White House life,
Charles isn’t ready to throw in the towel quite yet.
