The co-production between Collective: Unconscious and P.S. 122 will officially open Sept. 17 for a run through Oct. 30 at the downtown New York locale.

The new work, whose title takes its cue from the stage characters in Edward Albee's Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is billed as a "broad two-character political satire combines the real-life antics of George Dubya and Martha Stewart... (and a touch of George and Martha Washington)."

George & Martha sets its scene at a New York City hotel room during the Republican Convention where a secret rendezvous occurs between the two headliners as they bemoan their legal and political woes. Among the evening's highlights: "Bin Laden hides in Bush’s bowels. Martha creates invisible nose hair scissors. Bush relapses into a coke binge and Martha flies into a rage over having to drink from a plastic glass," according to a release.

"George & Martha uses dark humor to explore the collision of politics, power, and fame. Bush and Stewart are examples of society’s ‘lucky ones,’ yet they still have unmet needs," states Finley about the work. "Their inner turmoil gives us a glimpse to our own neurotic needs. George & Martha gives a symbolic meaning to pathological destruction and behavior."

Two-time Obie Award winner Finley has performed her works Shut Up and Love Me, Make Love, The American Chestnut, A Certain Level of Denial and The Return of the Chocolate Smeared Woman internationally. Other works to see the stage include The Distribution of Empathy and We Keep Our Victims Ready — the infamous show which caused the NEA to revoke its grant to Finley.
