Nimrod

About Nimrod

NIMROD is a five-act brute-farce in verse! It’s a ridiculously chilling blend of Julius Caesar, Ubu Roi and The Simpsons Movie that follows an imagined final year of a criminal businessman’s presidency (the Nimrod administration) through the eyes of Lani, its beleaguered Slovenian First Lady. Is it a ribald comedy? A brutal tragedy? Will language itself devolve into madness and lies? And what does a radioactive pig have to do with the fate of the free world? Listen for yourself and find out. Nimrod was performed and recorded in front of a live audience on September 21, 2024 at The Broadwater in Hollywood. Each episode of the Nimrod Podcast includes one act of the performance followed by discussion and breakdown with Kirsten Vangsness and Phinneas Kiyomura. Written by Phinneas Kiyomura, directed by Alina Phelan Ballou and starring Kirsten Vangsness.
