THE GOOD OLIGARCH
a comedy for precedented times
In the distant future where every word is recorded and nothing stays secret, the world’s 127th-richest woman readies her mansion for a powerful senator’s visit. But in a house where the devices are always listening and the secret police are always searching, even the smallest slip of the tongue could destroy everything. When a staff member begins hiding friends marked for disappearance, chaos erupts in this biting farce about censorship, surveillance, and the high cost of silence.
Written for the students of Loyola Marymount University.
