Description

This politically charged play about the ad men behind Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign shows how American politics changed during the 1960s. The "daisy ad" aired only once, but its presence is still evident in political campaigns today.

Sean Devine is artistic director of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades Theatre in Vancouver.
