Richard Hellesen’s 'Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground' arrived Off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clement's in 2023, standing as a magnificent, deeply moving, and critically lauded solo historical drama. The real-time narrative unfolds in 1962 inside the office of a rustic farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, tracking General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th U.S. President, as he reacts with fierce pride and intellectual strategies to a new magazine poll ranking his administration a failure, launching into a sweeping retrospective defense of his leadership, his WWII commands, and his quest for a stable democracy. Directed by Peter Ellenstein, the production starred John Rubinstein in a towering performance.
