A wintry night of protest, changes everything for a group of unlikely sadomasochists. A senator and his house-boy find their closeted relationship being tested when a strange letter arrives at their door. Not wanting to be forced to choose between what is more important: stopping the protestors from prematurely ending his political career, or preserving his relationship with his lover, the arrogantly clever senator quickly realizes, if he is to remain on top, he will have to use his powers of coercion and manipulation on those closest to him.

Hours later, across town, the senator’s press secretary, political analyst and secretary of new media, gather to await news from Frank, the senator’s chief-of-staff, regarding how to handle the protestors who are now right outside the office. As the minutes pass and optimism gives way to the palpable thought of losing their positions of contentment. The employees begin a verbal attack that unravels secrets and hidden resentments in an attempt to validate themselves by hurting each other.

TAT or The Questioning of N-Power is an absurdist play about our political, racial, and sexual use of power and the ways in which we are willing to hurt ourselves and each other in order to hold on to it.
