Or the women behind the throne.
Saw it downtown at the Fredericksburg Theater Ensemble.
They say it's not based on any particular president or administration. It seemed like a send up of both Trump and Clinton to me.
But it was hysterical. Centered around the Chief of Staff, Press Secretary, First Lady, President's personal secretary and a reporter.
Begins with the latest crisis. President is holding a press conference. There will be talks later that day around nuclear proliferation.
Reporters ask where the First Lady is.
"Well, she's not here. She's just having a cunty week if you know what I mean."
From there it's all about the fallout from the comment and trying to contain the spread and consequences as it escalates.
The cast was all great - the woman who played the First Lady was hysterical, along with the Secretary to the President.
Show might not be to your liking John, but it was a great send-up of politics.
And I will add that I have never seen a bad show there - they have a great set of actors.
Biggest issue is that their performance space is completely inaccessible. They're three floors above Jabberwocky, and the elevator had been broken since before Covid.
Building owner says that the elevator is ancient, and finding parts, let alone someone qualified to work on it is proving to be impossible.
Friend said the stairs are more than wide enough to install lifts. I'm going to email that to the building owner and see if anything comes of it.
