The article highlights the dynamic performance by Xhloe and Natasha at Soho Theatre, featuring their play A Letter to Lyndon B Johnson Or God. Celebrated for their unique style that combines clowning and acrobatics with a poetic script, the duo captivates audiences with their exploration of youth, nostalgia, and the darker undertones of American history. Through the lens of two Boy Scouts dreaming of meeting President Johnson, they grapple with aspirations and the harsh realities of impending adulthood and the Vietnam War. This play, alongside their other work, underscores their remarkable synergy developed over a decade of collaboration.
In A Letter To with only a giant tractor tyre and mouth organs for props, the pair bounce and jump around excitedly with sing-song delivery fixing our attention for the entire 65-minute run time.
The boys dream of meeting him. The line between their youth and Boy Scout antics blurs into their desire to one day become men and what event will herald this change.
