Welcome to the world of the one per cent, the corporate elite, the C-suite, the kingmakers. A world managed by payoffs, press releases, NDAs, and company policies. What happens to morality in this world when its people have limitless power?

When a CEO and his highest executives are on an international business trip to secure a major deal, a sex scandal between employees is unearthed on the news. As the pressure to complete the deal mounts, more damaging secrets come to the surface, endangering the CEO’s company, family, and legacy.

In this searing look at upper-class privilege, Post-Democracy asks, what does it take to confront corruption?

“Subject matter that could feel forced in less-deft hands is rescued from an HR manual and brought to painful, vivid life.” —Morgan Mullin, The Coast

Hannah Moscovitch is one of Canada’s most prominent playwrights. She has written sixteen plays, including East of Berlin, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, and This is War, and she has been honored with numerous awards, among them the Governor General’s Literary Award, the Nova Scotia MasterWorks Arts Award, and the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize. Hannah’s music-theatre hybrid Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story (co-created with Christian Barry and Ben Caplan) became a TimeOut and New York Times Critic’s Pick, winning both the Herald Angel and a Scotsman Fringe First awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and receiving six Drama Desk Award nominations in New York, crossing the 400-performance line in the process. In television, Hannah is co-creator, executive producer, and head writer of Little Bird alongside showrunner Jennifer Podemski, which has garnered a landslide of awards and critical praise, including the Séries Maria Prix Public (or Audience Award) and thirteen Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Drama Series. Most recently, Hannah was co-executive producer on seasons 1 and 2 of AMC’s hit series Interview With The Vampire.
