My Fringe
Heart of the Country
Figurehead Theatre (Scotland)
About
Gathered around the fire, a wayfaring scout troop trade tall tales and songs about the life and times of President Lyndon B. Johnson, charting a path from his impoverished childhood in the Texas Hill Country to the lives of those riding the coattails of history.
Less a biography of Johnson than a counter-mythology that plays on the gaps and imaginative leaps that make up the cultural consciousness of a political figure and their times, Heart of the Country explores how speculation can contribute to a process of reimagining value. Around the campfire, the currency of stories and songs opens onto a vision of democratic participation where value is negotiated and debt is fugitive.
