18 Months After November began in October 2020 as a short play that Jacob Juntunen wrote for an evening of streaming pieces with his students at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, where he heads the MFA Playwriting program.
The short play was met with such enthusiasm that Jacob continued the story, imagining what could happen to the USA after a highly contested election. He finished the first draft of the play in October, cast it during the long counting of the presidential election ballots in early November, and filmed it shortly after the election was called for Biden on November 7th.
Even so, the ultimate twists and turns the play takes makes it eerily relevant today.
