Influenced by the evolving political landscape, VICUÑA is one funny satire focusing on a brash presidential candidate on the rise who just happens to be a blustering real estate tycoon and reality TV star, and his world-renowned tailor he coerces into serving him. “Vicuña” delves beneath the over stitching, through the weave and into the true power of the power suit. A suit may or may not make the man but it can definitely be revealing. A timely take on our rollicking political scene from Pulitzer finalist Baitz.
