Step into a sophisticated, slippery world where the line between truth and fiction is all in the packaging. It's 1936, and a pair of passionate filmmakers have landed their next big project: a sweeping Spanish Civil War film with the potential to change American hearts and minds. It just happens to be bankrolled by the KGB. This seductive and funny new play about the art of propaganda and the dangerous, ongoing Disinformation Age explores how art can change the world - for better and worse. "The play is, above all, about the sometimes terrifying power of art - how it can be used to change...the minds and hearts of a social set, or a generational cohort, or, God forbid, an entire mass-media-hypnotized populace. Art matters, whether artists like that fact or not." - Vinson Cunningham, The New Yorker
