 Dinner With America         Glorious

Dinner With America

Synopsis:
By the close of Dinner With America, Rajini Shah has been singing Amazing Grace for nigh on two hours. Her voice is cracked and broken. She can no longer hold her arm aloft like the sStatue of Liberty. She has been stripped of her glittering silver dress, her stars and stripes boots, the glossy blonde wig and makeup mask. She stands before us naked and vunerable.
