Description:Ulysses S. Grant faces mortality and his own failing memory in this "exciting and vivid" play by the Tony Award-winning author of Six Degrees of Separation (Michael Feingold, Village Voice).Arthur Schlesinger calls A Few Stout Individuals "a political extravaganza." This latest work from award-winning playwright John Guare, author of House of Blue Leaves and Six Degrees of Separation, addresses ideas of history and memory, fame and ignominy, reason and insanity with his trademark Guare imagination.

Grant is penniless, dying of throat cancer, and attempting to finish his memoirs while he's cajoled and pestered by everyone from his wife and children to Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) and, by way of drug-induced hallucinations, the Emperor of Japan.
