Staged reading of a play.
Patriotic Games is described as the battle for the soul of America.
War rages in Europe. The Nazis have conquered most of the continent. President Roosevelt wants to send aid to England, now being bombed by Hitler’s Luftwaffe.
Charles Lindbergh, the most popular man in Americs, and the head of the powerful America First Movement, is virulently opposed to sending military aid. America should remain neutral. “The oceans will protect us. America doesn’t need another foreign war!,” says Lindbergh.
The American people are divided. The future of our country is in peril!
