SYNOPSIS

Summer 1962, and Dwight Eisenhower, two years out of office, discovers that The New York Times has published the first historians’ ranking of American presidents in order of greatness—relegating him to the “Mediocre” class. Furious, but fearful they may be right, he looks back on the lessons of his Kansas youth, his military life, and his presidency, to question their definition of political and American greatness—and his own. A human and often humorous solo drama, EISENHOWER: THIS PIECE OF GROUND is a highly entertaining piece of theatre, and a compelling reminder of what lies at the heart of democracy.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER – 71. General of the Army and former President of the United States, strong-willed, introspective, reflecting on the events and choices that defined his military and presidential career.
