Berkeley Rep presents the World Premiere of Continental Divide, a two-play cycle by internationally acclaimed playwright David Edgar (Pentecost, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby). With American politics in mind, this two-play cycle examines both sides of a gubernatorial campaign. These two plays, which can be seen in either order, explore what has happened to the revolutionary fervor that took hold of both the Right and the Left in the 1960s, and how it has been transmuted and carried on in politics today -- especially relevant in light of California's current political landscape.
