We might be on the brink of revolution in Nebraska. Penny, a compulsive and compulsively-watchable candidate for state office enlists the help of Francine, a silver-tongued operative. Francine's husband Jeffrey, a doctor, is lying to his dying patients—one of whom opens his eyes to Penny’s nefarious plans for the Cornhusker State. The Totalitarians is a raucous dark comedy about the state of modern political discourse, modern relationships, and how easy it is to believe truths without facts.
FEATURING:
Lindsay Quam as Francine
Gwen Merfeld as Penny
Nicholas Johnson as Jeffery
Addison Aronson as Ben
The Totalitarians contains adult language and content and is intended for mature audiences.
